The Wheatsheaf

A favorite smuggler’s tavern and second home of anyone who needs a thug now and again, the Wheatsheaf nightly serves up strong beer and spicy food with a healthy side of information, especially from the Redcloaks or the Cloven Nine. The collection of rogues, sharpers, cultists, assassins, fences, and cold-eyed hard cases who drink at the Wheatsheaf is ever-changing but always dangerous, alert, and looking for an opening.
Despite its clientele and infernal connections, the Wheatsheaf remains a remarkably nonviolent place . . . most of the time. The tavern provides a secure place to conduct public and private business or just have a meal, and that ends if people are watching for a knife in the back or fear the Watch will show up. When violence starts at the Wheatsheaf, it’s never a simple brawl—it’s a murder. The killer had best have powerful friends or excellent protection, however, as all the biggest gangsters in Zobeck prefer that the Wheatsheaf operate under a flag of truce, and they look askance on anyone threatening that.
