Herald’s Tavern
Run by a former half-orc ghoul named Grendar Hitten, this otherwise nondescript slinger of libations is notable for employing several heralds who deliver speeches summarizing news of the day. Different hours of the day have a different focus, from economic happenings to local politics, the world at large, and even fashion and entertainment. In recent months sensing the ongoing rise of literacy and publications of broadsheets, Herald’s Tavern has been experimenting with utilizing puppets and vellum dolls to act out key stories. The establishment has been regularly frequented by agents of the various Meridian Houses in order to keep close eye for any hint of sedition or propaganda. They’ve largely been unable to gain access to the invite-only backroom where politics can be discussed freely and information unfavorable to the Binder-Lords can be exchanged without fear of consequence.
