An Interview with Alchemist Talbot of the Keep

Tired of quest-talk, politics, and magical hypotheses, Talbot has made his mark on the world by opening and running the only no-magic wizard-only bar in the realm.

“Come and hang out at The Keep, but by Merlin’s beard- no magic in my f*cking bar.”

In an exclusive interview with this passionately dedicated Wizard, we explore his approach to music, magic, and a good time.

Interviewer: Hey Talbot! How are you doing?

Talbot: Pretty good! We’re having a great year here down at the Keep, business is thriving and I think we’re at the beginning of something really special.

Interviewer: So tell me, what is the Keep?

Talbot: The Keep is the only no-magic wizard-only bar in the realm. We don’t allow any magic so people can focus on the music, ale, and good vibes. Too often nowadays people are relying on magic for a good time and use it as an excuse to be d*cks to each other. The world is about more than magic, even for us wizards!

Interviewer: Oh! So you’re a wizard yourself?

Talbot: Oh for sure! That’s how I know magic isn’t all that! If you ask me, it causes a whole lot more problems that it solves. More magic, more problems.

Interviewer: That’s an interesting position! How did you come to that conclusion?

Talbot: People think magic can solve all your problems. They think because we can teleport and manifest matter out of nothingness it means our lives are smooth sailing. Well, not really, wizards are getting into battles and fights all the time, evil souls are targeting us with hexes and curses, and we’re always accidentally summoning things we didn’t intend. Wizard’s have all the problems humans have plus a load of more complicated ones!

Interviewer: Wow! So having no magic at the Keep must make your life easier then?

Talbot: No doubt! The Keep is a safer place without magic. All the vibes are exclusively generated by wizards having a good time with each other and the music, with no extra faff. The only magic here is in the music. Upstairs we have a listening bar, on the middle floor we have a load of couches for chilling out and in the basement we have a club. It’s a great time.

Interviewer: What is your key to a great time?

Talbot: It’s all love baby! If you and your family are safe and healthy, you can hang out with your friends, AND listen to good music? You’re as lucky as a wizard can get.

Interviewer: What kind of music do you play at the Keep?

Talbot: We play all kinds of music. At the moment we’re enjoying jazz, house, electro, indie-rock, and K-Pop(Kobold Pop).

Interviewer: Sounds great! Thanks for talking to me today. Do you have anything else to share with our readers?

Talbot: Music is the answer, the key to love is understanding, and no magic in my f*cking bar!

Interviewer: Thank you!
