[Location] Tavern: The Trough

[Tundris]

Territory: Upon entering the Trough, visitors are first struck by the homely appeal of the place. Low, fold-able tables dot the carpeted floor of the pavilion. Each of the tables are surrounded by cushions of various colors and sizes, all worn by countless bottoms. A makeshift bar, simply a row of barrels, is situated near a flap into the cook-room. Purpose: Many Drykas travel with their Pavilion, but there always will be visitors to the city, or groups seeking something different. For just such individuals, the Trough exists. Under the skilled supervision of Aeryc Fouroats, the Trough provides simple meals, and a small variety of drink to its patrons. Advisors: Two young men, Erys and Aeryc Fouroats, serve the tables. It is possible to see a Drykas man or woman earning coin by playing an instrument, or reciting poetry. Stories of the heroes and heroines of Endrykas are favourites among the regulars. Fights are extremely rare occurrences. Anybody that comes in to throw fists will be separated and promptly removed. Even if the Fouroats brothers are unable to, they have many friends nearby that will intervene for them.
