This infamous row of dive bars and dingy taverns lies on the eastern outskirts of Halarahh. Decades ago, these were the choice watering holes for lower-class labourers, sweatsoaked craftspeople, and assorted scoundrels who inhabited Halarahh. Today, Buckledown Row is a hub for outlaws, outcasts, scavengers, and worse. The taverns are mostly intact, and close enough to the edge of town for a band of roughand-tumble ruffians to make the trek easy enough, but still far enough into the city to dissuade others from following. Ever since the Queen of Thieves brought the gangs under her influence, the street has been controlled by the Queen’s Men: bandits and brigands meet here on neutral ground, join in revelry together, trade with fences and smugglers, and only occasionally slit each other’s throats. There’s few rules and even less order. Flowing ale and gold tend to calm the most violent disputes, but for anything else the hidden fighting pit is the perfect place to settle feuds, make some bets, and lose a few teeth. On the surface, Buckledown Row might appear to be the stronghold for the Queen’s Men in Halarahh. It’s certainly a gathering point for the gangs and a hub for illicit activity, and the visitors just might be able to make contact with the Queen of Thieves here. Alternatively, they might just want to crack some skulls in the fighting ring! The Queen of Thieves makes an appearance in Buckledown Row, usually appearing for a few hours on a Friday or Saturday evening to watch the best fights. The bandits that fill the streets and taverns might not notice strangers, but also are not afraid to stab or steal from anyone who seems like they don’t belong. Asking around the taverns and streets, it’s easy to gather that the fighting pits below the taverns are the way people around here get known. Many of the fighters in the pits are renowned legends amongst the gangs. Anyone who can defeat the other fighters gets to take a crack at the Queen’s champion in the royal fighting pits. Beat the champion, and you get a private audience with the Queen
