The Black Sails

The Black Sails tavern stands in the shadow of The Armory the Doomguard headquarters, at the end of a dark alley between a pair of armor works. The blackened bowsprit of an ancient galleon juts out over the figurehead. Soot has stained the sails' canvas black. Inside dark rafters loom over about a dozen curtained alcoves that conceal the furnishings of the tavern's dim common room. Several stained and notched tables stand in the room's center, where groups of sullen crafters gather to drink quietly.

It serves as a neutral ground for "Planar Navigators"—void-jammers, astral sailors, and shadow-walkers. Inside, the gravity is slightly lighter than the rest of the city, and the air smells of salt spray and ozone
