Wren's Nest Tavern

Also known as simply "The Wren's Nest", this is a beloved website created by the player of Dreamheart when DragonRealms was still young, perhaps 1996 or 1997. It was a place where stories, history, and information were kept, and kept well. It was very much like Elanthipedia but prior to there even being a Wikipedia.

One of it's most notable features was the Scroll of Remembrance, where people could go to list the names of the characters who had left the game. Created during a time of great change for DragonRealms, when many of the original characters were leaving, it was the first such place of it's kind.

The Wren's Nest was located at http://www.dm.net/~dream before being moved to http://dr.bookofheroes.com/

The beautiful Wren's Nest Logo was created by Solis - the same Solis who gave us those beautiful maps of the Realms back in the day. The logo served three different Tavern designs - thank you so much Solis!

Trivia: Solis gave the wren a name (of course he did) - Wrenfirth.

Beckah was the young serving girl for the Tavern, and Baresh served as the Barkeep for the Tavern, listening to as many tales as adventurers would tell him. Crowolf made a wonderful portrait of him.

The Wren's Nest Tavern closed in July 2008, laying off both Baresh and Beckah.

May 27, 2013 update: With a bright shiny new location, http://WrensNestTavern.com, The Wren's Nest re-opened on the 36th day of Akroeg in 409 with Baresh behind the bar hearing the news and stories people would tell. At the time of the new site's unveiling, half of the old news contributions, through year 364, had already been converted and were there. Dreamheart says the rest will be finished with the conversions soon.
