Valcent Minstros
If the most well-known tavern in the Docks is the infamous Grog Pit, then it should come as no surprise that Valcent Minstros is the district’s most notorious bartender. Between his policy of accepting coins of any denomination from any country for a tankard of grog or his unwavering tolerance for bad behavior, his popularity among alcohol’s more bombastic admirers isn’t surprising. But just because Valcent tolerates fistfights and worse in the Grog Pit, one shouldn’t assume that there are never repercussions for troublemaking. Valcent may not throw you out for starting a fight, but he could well put you in a pine box for annoying him. Time and time again he’s dodged the law when the kin of those he’s been forced to kill have attempted to have him thrown in jail, for the guards know that, by keeping potential arsonists or thugs or other violent criminals “distracted” in the Grog Pit, Minstros helps them keep order in the Docks. It certainly doesn’t hurt Valcent’s position that the majority of those who end up killed in fights in the Grog Pit are well-known to have deserved the punishment, and by keeping everything above board and in the open, Valcent ensures there are always witnesses to support the fact that while he doesn’t start fights, he certainly ends them.
