Contrary to the mental image cast by its name, the Establishment is not any sort of actual facility. In fact, of all the locations that call the Castle Commons home, this one stands out...by not standing out at all. Consisting solely of an archaic fountain from an era long since past, the Establishment is simply an open square adjacent to the bustling Commons area. While patrons and thieves alike roam the thriving stalls nearby, a certain demographic of Sunberth's population regularly flocks to the square day in and day out.
Here, mercenaries and laborers congregate; but not for any social interaction. It is simply known that the Establishment is the go-to place for hired hands seeking employment. Those with potential jobs to do, whether they be fit for a laborer or a sellsword, simply head on over to the square and offer their tasks to those assembled. As there is a solid number of potential workers present at any time of the day, employers have their pick of the litter at any given time. Oddly enough, those gathered for the sake of gaining a job are relatively tame during the selections; for if they are passed over, chances are another employer will appear within chimes of the first.
While laborers, sellswords, and potential employers are the typical sort to grace the Establishment with their presence, everyday citizens do come every once in awhile. This is due to the presence of a local Crier, who scours the city for anything worthy of being yelled to the masses. From the juiciest rumors to news picked up from sailors, the Crier tells it all to those willing to hear. For a city that is practically isolated, the "luxury" of momentarily reconnecting with the outside world is one that is seldom passed up.
Name: Tua Scully
Race: Human
DoB: Summer 69, 479 AV (35 years old)
PoB: Sunberth
Title: Crier
Skills: Rhetoric (45), Negotiation (34), Persuasion (40), Seduction (23), Weapon: Shortsword (26)
Gnosis: None
Additional Info: Tua Scully has been described as silver-tongued. Since the days of his youth, it was elementary for him to sway the opinions of others to suit his goals. In his adult life, Martin has put his skills to good use in the form of being the sole Crier for the city of Sunberth. During the evenings, he roams from tavern to tavern, picking up bits of rumor and news. Then, he boldly announces his findings to whatever crowds gather at the Establishment. While this particular practice does not see any coin in his pocket, there are plenty of funds to be made on his part. Sunberth, being as shady as it is, always finds a way to make even the most basic occupations...illegitimate. Every so often, anonymous parties will approach Tua and offer him a handsome bit of coin in order to announce whatever rumors they conceive...and of course, Tua would be a fool to turn them down. *Tua will only accept a 10 gm minimum for basic rumors and 20 gm for rumors involving any of Sunberth's gangs.
