The tavern is a large establishment that boasts several counters and taprooms, each serving a different variety of food and ale. It is also a popular establishment and it is crowded with scribes and labourers who work at the warehouses in this district. You make your way to a counter where you are greeted by a strong aroma of spices and beer.

If you wish to buy some food and ale, turn to 201.

If you wish to ask the barman if he knows where you may find Lord Zinair, turn to 42.
