The Kahlo Pub is a suite of rooms set deep inside the Tokotah II complex. It was very obviously a tavern, but other than that little if anything is known about it that is certain. The name it carries was coined because someone theorized that the pub could be a location where kamkenta racing in the Age of Kahlo might have been played on the several viewers that are found in the pub. However, the truth is that no one has ever uncovered proof to support it.

The pub's level is well below Tokotah Alley, within the boundaries of structure 1, and it has three entrances. The main entrance is the one explorers use today, opening on a corridor that separates structure one from structure 5 and the structure 1 extension. The following picture shows the doors into those two areas. The closer door would have opened into the extension, and accessed a set of stairs up to the main entrance of structure 1. The far doors would have opened into structure 4, the center of the complex.

The corridor itself was very possibly accessed by the door set in the center of the Great Stairs. The spot shown in this picture shows how the corridor lines up with the back of the landing above the door. If you stand at the end of the corridor next to the collapsed section, you can see that your head is below the level of the walkway, so a section of the pub corridor would have fit easily into the space.

This is the main door into the pub.

This is the pub's antechamber, which has the remains of two sets of tables and benches, and two wall mounted viewers.

This is the second entrance into the pub, and would have opened into structure 2 of the complex.

Looking back from the structure 2 entrance, this is the main room of the pub. It had the bar, several tables and benches, and a large floor viewer. An trivia item: The pattern on the dais below the viewer is the same tile pattern used in the central plaza and linking book rooms of the neighborhoods, and the floor of the Nexus Age.

This small room with rubble blocking it off from the main room was an exit that lead to an area below Tokotah Alley. It probably opened on a corridor leading to the basement levels of Tokotah I, although it could have been another room.

This is the room behind the rubble, showing the door that opens into a space under the Alley.

This is the bar. Sadly, the contents of the bottles still on the shelves have long since dried up.

The Memorial

At the end of the corridor leading to the pub, there is a computerized message board near the spot where there was once a crevice, which was later filled in. The crevice was where Willow Engberg and Rosette Taylor fell into a room and were trapped, and where both subsequently died. This memorial board scrolls their names as a remembrance of the incident.

However, that's not all there is to it. Since then, Cyan Worlds has added the names of any explorer who has passed away and whose name has been submitted for inclusion on the board. The board is now a memorial for anyone who was once a part of the cavern community and who has been lost to us.

Insofar as I know, this is still an active service and names can still be submitted for inclusion, with proof such as a link to an obituary in an online newspaper.

As of October, 2015, the list of names scrolling on the board was:

Larry LeDeay, your humble site master, had the honor of a hand in getting one of the names added to the memorial. The community had been asking Cyan to include Deirdre Karris ever since we learned she had passed away not long before the 2015 CavCon Awareness party, an event that she'd been a committee member for and a driving force behind. Larry was able to contact Richard A. Watson with the request, and received the confirmation that it was done on October 9, 2015 at 7:41 PM CST. That was the evening before the CavCon event, and a fitting tribute to a person who worked hard to organize it but died before she could see it happen.

Around August 26, 2015, explorer Tai'lahr created pages in the Open Uru Wiki to provide more information about the memorial. The Explorers Memorial page has background information about the memorial itself, and the In Memoriam page has information about each of the people listed on the memorial.

Notes:
†Janet "Pehpsi" Burress had the honor of an epitaph written in D'ni by Richard A. Watson.

‡Willow Engberg and Rosette Taylor were part of the Bahro War "Scars" story arc in the days of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. I do not know if they were purely fictional characters like Yeesha, or if they were avatars of real people that were played as a role in the game, as many of the other DRC characters were. As an example of the latter, the character of Dr. Richard A. Watson was an avatar that was played by an actor, but was based on the very real Richard A. Watson (RAWA) of Cyan Worlds. RAWA once noted that it was ironic. His avatar was played by an actor rather than himself because "his voice wasn't right".
