{{Quote | source=[[Durstin Tallow]] |Wasn't too long ago that Serbule was just a little inn and a port, nothin' else. The elves that live in [[Sedgewick Forest]] would travel to the docks every month to get supplies from [[Verta]]. The goblin blockade put an end to that, though. Now there's not many customers at all.}} '''Serbule Keep''' is a Council town established in the large [[Serbule]] region. The town was created as an emergency refugee town for the Elves after the Elven City of [[Dwyndarre]] was destroyed. While most of the population is Elven, some Humans remain to act upon the wishes of the Council. Retired Praetor [[Nelson Ballard]] watches over the residents from the keep at the western end of town. [[Sir Coth]], the sheriff, attempts to maintain order. It is a typical Council town, constructed of mostly wooden buildings and surrounded by a stone wall. To meet deadlines, the [[Council Corps of Engineers]] cut corners, resulting in a destructive sewer system. The town is looped by a shallow moat which connects with a nearby lake, eventually reaching the ocean. Six guard towers stand watch over the town, and the former home of [[Lord Serbule]]takes up the Southern end of the town. Serbule has three gates, the main gate to the east, and secondary gates to the north and south.

These include Field Mushrooms (most common), Boletus Mushrooms and Blusher Mushrooms. ====Corner House (PVP Dungeon)====Once a cozy wooden home nestled in the corner of '''Serbule Keep''', this house seems to have been infested recently. The portal to the PVP dungeon lies in its back corner. ====Elsie, Bessie, Jammy and Wanda (cows)====The [[Cow_(Domesticated Animal)|cows]] can be miked once an hour, provided you have empty bottles in your inventory.
