Pitview Pub
The Pitview Pub is a favorite spot for cynics and gamblers to gather for black-hearted jokes and wagers on Starstone aspirants’ chances. It is located along the edge of the Starstone Chasm, with a prime view of any would-be god’s first attempt at crossing the gaping pit. Even better, the building contains a cellar with tall, tunneled windows actually cut into the chasm’s wall, so that spectators can catch a glimpse of failed hopefuls plummeting past.
When no tests are in the offing, the Pitview Pub is moderately popular at best. Its food is notoriously bad, and the drinks are heavily watered (which, wags like to jest, would be less objectionable if the bartenders would just stop using slop water). Rats often overrun the cellar, although most of the pub’s regulars assume that the owners encourage the rodents to proliferate to ensure a steady supply of meat for their reliably awful pies. The Pitview Pub does offer a varied gambling operation, however, including opportunities to bet on nearly every significant event in the city.
