Summary

Whenever a Realm Quake strikes at The Moon Under Water change often follows. After it was revealed that Landlord John and his most dedicated regular Robin Allender will be moving on from the Correct Realm, they decided it was only fitting that Robin was given the chance to create his very own 'Pub of the Mind'. So strap in, and join us as we head through the Mists to create a very special Moon Under Water for the most dedicated of regulars out there.


To everyone who has accompanied John and Robin at The Moon Under Water, we thank you so much for listening.


But fear not - very soon The Moon Under Water will be returning under the stewardship of a brand new landlord and regular, who've both received the Robins and Robin's seal of approval.

No overtime, of course.
