Blue Pearls Oyster Bar
One of the more "upper class" establishments.
Actually does not serve oysters. Half-Mast Harry is the current owner of this establishment. He runs a tight ship and cares for his customers. Leaguemasters and wealthy merchants are seen visiting and all have their own favourite girls / boys.
Purpose / Function
While it's name would imply that it is an oyster bar, it actually is an inn, which happens to also be a brothel and have a small stage. The brothelworkers determine their own price and are not actually employed by the bar. The workers rent a room from the inn from which they provide their services. Customers wishing just to stay for the night can rent a room as normal.

Special Properties
A gruff looking dwarf at the door says in a stern voice: "All patrons of the Blue Pearls Oyster Bar need to hand over their weapons at the cloakroom, house policy".
After handing over your weapons, you walk through a blue crushed velvet curtain and you are granted with a view of the establishment. A large dias in the middle of the room has several scantly clad girls dancing on it. Wealthy merchants can be seen sitting at their private tables. Half-Mast Harry can be seen at the bar, carefully observing the room and his customers, whilst polishing a glass with some rags.
In one corner of the room, a group of bards can be seen performing, playing their musical instruments.
Conversation With Eris:
Hey, can I ask you something? You lot seem like a group who can handle themselves. I kinda need some help, I ehhh.... ran in some trouble. Meet me at the alley behind the Abandoned house in Dredgetown after my shift, I'll explain the situation then.
Alterations
Throughout the years, not much has changed in the bar. Only the removal of the large fishtank near the counter is something notable. Throughout the years, some of the seating arrangements have been shuffled around or remodeled to accustom the needs or demands of the guests.
Architecture
A large two-storied building. The front of the building has a large leadlight in it. The building itself hase a stone base with sturdy wooden walls. The craftsmanship of the woodwork is excellent, with intricate woodcarvings on the facade of the building.
History
The bar is named after it's first owner's -Solomon Von Barlow- pet. He had a very special pet clam which produced blue pearls. As a matter of fact, the entire inside of the Clam was blue. He used to keep it in a special tank which was situated near the counter. A few years after Solomon had died, the Clam, which had closed it's shell for the last years, died. A small singular black pearl was found. The clam's nickname was Azure.
Tourism
The bar is a very popular site for people visiting Helmaroc's Rest. But it's mostly men who visit the bar, although they do have a special "ladies knight" where the main stage features the dancers clad in knightly armour.
