often has a bard that alternates between crooning and upbeat / bawdy


“The Empress’ Own”
A place to buy cheap memorabilia and propaganda about the empress and the noble family
"The Great Empress Queen of Aligoria"
Three guards standing outside: Maroon Lion memorabilia, even red-lion toys
Much sold with the same pattern

An old smithy
now out of commission, but owner--Slyde--still sells weapons,
mostly bladed--quality enough (do the job) but not "well made"
