Establishments
Taverns
The Rusty Pickaxe
The Rusty Pickaxe is a small, warm inn and tavern near the west gate of Ezther. Run by a dwarven woman Rutha and her nephew Cilis, the establishment's main business lies in taking in travellers from Mullay looking for a place to rest their legs and stable their horses.Wherewithall
Wherewithall is the richest drinking hole in town as a result of its high-stakes gambling ring. The bar's proprietor is an old imperial nobleman named Archer Mel; a part of the Mel family in town. The bar is quite aristocratic and most consider it unpleasantly haughty.The Dockside Brewery
The Dockside Brewery borders the docks in Ezther. The brewery-adjoined bar run by an Arcadellia-worshipping man named Worthin is used largely as a den for the dockworkers when off-shift and sports Worthin's unique brew of ale: "The Ocean's Fur".The Jackal's Den
Primarily an inn but also offering catering, the Jackal's Den is another traveller's dive sitting on the main trading road that runs north-to-south along the river Till. It is run by a Sol'siellan man named Ori'vel and is assisted by his wife and two daughters.Squaler's Shade
The Squaler's Shade lies in the shadow of the western wall of Ezther. It is run by a sly halfling woman named Pikla and is one of two facilities lisenced to house gambling affairs. Unlike the Wherewithall, though, the Squaler's Shade is a lower-stakes, shadier affair.The House on Main
Arguably the most respectible establishment in town to the common man, the House on Main is a large, three story inn and tavern that offers a cushy experience and chilled beers. The bar is run and managed by a woman named Lerith.Businesses
The Golden Thread
Run by an aged human man named Penn, the Golden Thread is a mid-to-high-end tailor. Penn runs the business alone and is the only tailor that works there making his work slow sometimes. Regardless, his goods are of undeniable quality and lower to middle-class nobles often make use of his premium services.Guilds
The city of Ezther is the business center of Vedenhale and most of this business is run out of one major building in the eastend: The Guild Hall.The guild hall is a large, three story building with an expansive, open hall as its entry room. This room has scattered tables and is catered by a bar on one wall. In this room, a large majority of all business dealings in Ezther are performed.
The Union of Lerthis
Named after the founder of the trade route that runs from Rhail to Delborough, the Union of Lerthis is a burgeoning organization with the goal of introducing standardization of trade across Vedenhale, thus reducing the impact that bartering has on the merchantile industry. While they are fairly well established in Rhail, their influence in Ezther is subdued by the local business which protest to the union -some out of principle, others because they do not believe it beneficial.Most view the union as a group of hopeless idealists with visions of an impossible future, however their growth is indisputable. Wether or not their system is really the best way forward remains to be seen.
