Sawt min Sahra

by Barbaros Pasha

The name of the tavern Barbaros works at night is "Cuddly Cuddy". This small tavern has its fame thanks to it's house-brew that locals call the "Telmatran Gold". This special ale uses a secret recipe of Telmatran spices to produce a rich malty brown ale that produces a golden foam thanks to the special pressurized barrels it's stored in. Also, once a month, a bard ensemble called "Sawt min Sahra" (translates as Voice of Desert) performs in this cozy tavern. This small group of 4 bards is lead by Aysha, a human female who has been living in Ashayabat long enough for no one to question where she is originally from. In the last couple years Barbaros has worked here, Aysha and her ensemble regularly performed at the tavern and the two have developed a strange connection. Barb is usually a good listener and he can gather enough information from his patrons in a night to be able to write a short biography about them the next day. Despite his cunning ability to read people, he has not been able to tell much about Aysha. She is still a complete mystery to him. Part of it might be due to the fact that Aysha is not much of a talker, she prefers to talk through the strings of her oud. Also, Barb's feelings for this mysterious woman might be clouding his judgement. There is much to her than she leads people to believe and Barb is curious to discover it.
