The Rutting
The Rutting is the main tavern/Inn of Haram Bay, which also doubles as a brothel. It is one of the oldest building in the Bay, and has been around before the island became a small port, and was only used for hesh glowing and smuggling. The building is well built for its time, and was the main building used by Hesh traders. They lived and worked in the building.
When the port was established the building served a home and headquarters for Arty Dain while he had his manor built. During that time a lot of people moved in and out of the building as Arty establish contacts and grew his followers. The building was expanded and rooms were added until it is what it is today.
Once Arty moved out into his manor, he turned the building into a tavern for the Pirates and other visitors to the port. Pirates being what they are, used the tavern for other carnal activities, and an enterprising woman Rene Tousante thought that it might be a good idea to organize the women who were working in the area. She bought the building from Arty and thus the Rutting was formed. Arty's only stipulation was that she had to maintain the tavern aspect of the building, so his contacts had a place to stay.
Today the tavern can accommodate about fifty or so guests and still leave room for the women who work there to do their job. The rooms are shared between the two so it is not uncommon for a guest to hear sounds from the room next door.
Rene employs about about 8 women, half of which are Mocar. She has had several cooks, none of them anything special, and she "owns" several large Mocar that she uses for security. She also hires pirates that are currently not employed, or on long leave as additional security (Usually paying a pittance and food and board.)
Several other people have tried to open up other taverns or inns but they do not last long. Many of them find their places vandalized and robbed.

Alterations
The Rutting has been expanded over the years and has had rooms added so it looks a little strange with addition on every side of the original building.
Defenses
Three large native Mocar Warriors act as security for the tavern. Additionally there is usually a group of other men avaialble to help them out made up of pirates that are either out of work, or on long leaves.
