So I just visited our Kinship Hall last night, and holy cow, my Hobbit stood there in wonderment overwhelmed by the greatness of our Hall. It is so beautiful, and so big!
Since this is my first experience, I had never seen a Kinship Hall before, so I decided to have a look inside. It is absolutely breath-taking. And yes... I drank from the Keg. And ended up in Bree, totally dizzy not knowing how to find my way back. Strong stuff, never heard of it before, but in future I will use it with caution.
The strange thing though is, that I cannot seem to visit the neighborhood by using the gate. Our neighborhood is not in the list, and I can only visit it using the rations. Note that I am only in my 16th season, so perhaps that has got to do with it...
