Tempest Tavern
Welcome
"Welcome to the tempest tavern you are free to touch the ceiling and talk to the lady in your drink"Tempest tavern is located in Rainbow corner. A magical section of the city hidden from people who don't know how to get there. It is one of the most prominent taverns in the magic underbelly of the city of Aoth. It is run by Windfree the sky sprite. Sometimes gentle and sometimes vicious she is always going to be what it is needed to keep the tavern in shape.

Tempest tavern is in an essentially magic hotspot as such they primarily use magic for everything they can use it for which allows it to become unique from other establishments. The magic doesn't just extend from the food and drinks but also the building itself.
In the back of the tavern, there is the game section where through the magic of animating objects and summoning small creatures people can play out their fantasies of commanding great armies and doing epic battles where the winner takes all. From time to time the tavern would host tournaments with prizes being trophies of the magical kind such as a dolphin that could fly through the air like a bird. How the game usually works is people would put their pieces on the table and then say start and the magic would animate the pieces to do the masters will.
In the midsection of the room is the flying tables whereupon command the table will fly up in the air will encapsulating those sitting at it in a wind barrier which will prevent anyone sitting from falling. The waitress still can reach them while they are flying as she is also well equipped with magic.
At the bar table is where people can order drinks and pick them up and talk with others and generally have a good time.
Employee
Icelee: The so-called ice queen of the bar. Many lustful hearts have been denied and crushed by this woman. She is not evil or mean just disdainful and intolerant of people's unlogical and emotional behavior. The way she sees it everyone should be able to easily and simply draw a line between them and their goals and follow it. That's why she has such trouble with fireandra because Fireandra doesn't seem to know what she wants or how to get there and no matter how many times Icelee tries to help she just keeps going back to her old ways. Icelee respects windfree in fact windfree may be the person she respects the most simply because of how much windfree is driven and accomplished. Icelee is an ocean sprite and she looks like a blue humanoid with white hair and blue eyes. She has big lips, braided hair, and a small chin. Her favorite drink in the bar is called Harsh Love. It's a non-magical drink that's is cool and refreshing with no sweetness in it but a strong tangy flavor. It takes a lot to get her drunk but when she does she becomes a lot kinder. "People are too obsessed with nice and comfortable women what people need is a brutally honest and reliable woman."-IceLee[ Fireandra: "She is one of my best friends and a useful employee as she is always giving her 100% because in her words 'her flame burns with passion. I made her a waitress because everyone seems to like her and get a warm cozy feeling around her."-WindFree Fireandra is like the heart of the tavern while windfree is the soul. She loves trying knew things and becoming a better person. Her mind is kinda flippy where she will flip to one idea and then another and nothing really sticks. People usually describe Fireandra as nothing less than a good person whose kindness and generosity know no bounds. One thing she loves doing is playing matchmaker and setting up different people in the bar. Firandra is a volcano sprite. Firandra is a red-skinned woman with tall stature and golden eyes and brown flowing hair that falls halfway down her back. She gets drunk easily and when she does she becomes a lot more aggressive and assertive. Her favorite drink is draconic blood. "Everyone needs fiery passion to live a fulfilling life without people to tend to just give up on their goals entirely." -Fireandra Rockike: "I call him Mr, reliable or just strong guy because that's what he is the perfect ally to make anyone feel safe which is why I made him a bouncer." Solemn and reserved you never know what this guy is thinking and he definitely won't tell you. Those who somehow break through his hard exterior think he is nice. One of those people is Fireandra who is such a bastion of warmth and energy that even he has to return the usual hi and hug. Icelee and him on the other hand seem to not mix due to neither wanting to go through the effort of befriending others. Rockike thinks of Icelee as cold and unfriendly but doesn't mind. He may prefer that over Windfree who is too friendly and energetic. When the bar gets together to discuss new ideas Rockike is often the one to be voice of reason for Windfree making not stray too far into madness. Tall, buff and intimidating define Rockike to a T. His skin is gray and his eyes are emerald green and his hair looked like moss on his head as it had a lime green color to it. He is able to drink a lot before getting drunk but often chooses not to drink. When drunk he gets more secluded and chooses not to interact with anything as much. "I am just here to do my job and go home." -Rockike Windfree: "She NEVER sits down"-Everyone The pinnacle of energy, ambition, and spirit. She never says no to herself and someone else often has to do it for her. She both supplies and runs the tavern. The tavern is what she calls her "love child". The tavern is often stated to be her kingdom with windfree the tyrannical queen. Many people attribute this to her being a sky sprite often assuming that all sky sprites are as spirited as her although no one has been able to confirm since their so rare to find. Little do they know windfree is just that Windfree she is herself and no one else and no one else is Windfree. Windfree is a pure white person with light blue hair and bright yellow eyes. She gets drunk easily and chooses to drink until someone stops her. When she is drunk she is completely unpredictable. "If I had to describe myself in one word it would be... strong."

Customer
Its not the magic and its not the food or drinks its one thing only and that is the people who come here make this place special.At the tempest tavern, everyone is appreciated. Windfree being the smart and gracious owner she is has realized that without people coming to the bar and drinking and eating there would be no bar. So she gives every customer the full treatment with no biases against them whatsoever. You can be the king or a noble or escape convict the tavern will treat you all the same. Here are some of the more notable patrons. Fundis: "Yea a lot of gods and goddesses come through here all the time, especially the extravagant ones and there's none more extravagant than Fundist" Describing Fundis physical form is pointless as it is ever-changing and constantly different from the last form. Fundis is both man and woman as he switches between them as easily as regular people breathe. Currently, he has the highest score in all the games with the most wins and the most plays altogether. As the god of entertainment, his magic is mostly centered around enjoyment. He can make illusions of dancing entertainers and do theatrics such as booming voices and magical lights. Many view him as a major god which makes his humble personality and how he is able to mix with regular people so heartwarming. His favorite drink is Andela's kiss and his favorite member of the tavern is Windfree. Isoless: "We welcome everybody but this guy makes people uncomfortable and he looks like he is uncomfortable being himself." Picture a roughly middle-aged man with an unkempt beard and hair on his head that looks raggedy wearing an old dusty coat and pants sitting at a table in the corner by himself. That would be Isoless. He comes in around 9 pm every day and drinks for a couple of hours and then when he is done walks out like a drunkard. He doesn't talk to anyone and doesn't play any games. It's a running joke in the bar that he is "thinking things beyond our comprehension". All in all, he is still welcome at the bar as he doesn't cause any problems. Gilith: "All types of races come here and we appreciate them all even the ones we do not understand because surely the gods had a vision for them." Gilith has four eyes and six arms and is green with a head shaped like a sphere. No one knows what kind of creature he is but they do know that he himself is quite the fun guy. He can sing he can weirdly dance and he can juggle. He often just invites himself over to a group and asks if they wanna see a trick and if they say yes he does one that will surely amaze. He can easily be wrapped up in a drinking contest from a simple request. He will often win simply from cold hard experience. Among the many patrons of the tavern, Gilith isn't that different from the multiple different species that come by but he is still unique in the right way. Cheery: "We call her sweetness"-windfree A pink beautiful lady that has a soft voice and delightful attitude. She never drinks alcohol but will keep the fun going with her beautiful voice. She is friends with Windfree and Fireandra and often gets on the nerves Icelee with her jokes. All around a great patron.
History
About 50 years ago Windfree had a dream to make place where everyone could be friends and thus the Tempest tavern was born.

Oooh, those games sound awesome. You asked for feedback on discord. Contentwise it'd be nice to learn more about the history: How did we get here, why did the owner found/buy/inherit/? the place and turn it into the establishment it is now? What are their own motives, relevant family, relevant past? Layoutwise, I'd experiment a bit with BBcode. First thing is that a single enter in the text editor doesn't show in the article. You need either a double-enter for paragraphs, or manually insert a br-tag (there's a button for that). Then there's advanced bb-code. If you use the Euclid editor, you can manually add bb-code such as <quote>A|Author</quote>, <aloud>A</aloud>, and even <row><col>1</col><col>2</col></row>. You could for example use a row with 2 columns to list two drinks or games side-by-side, which would fit better with the center (or alternatively justified) text. Below is an example of what you can do with that available-to-all bbcode:
