So are we just doing the bunch of strangers meet up in a tavern thing, or do some of our characters already know each other/know of each other?

I'd imagine that could be a possibility. Although my character is in an semi-self-imposed exile.
Hence I could have him be the local Librarian or something of that nature, that or a bookcollector from his Order visiting town.
It really depends on how everyone establishes their character in the setting. Most I assume are new in town?
