Marquis Moon

There are a number of taverns and pubs scattered throughout The Old City. They make a good business catering to the politicians, lawyers, and guards of the city, offering food, drink, and places where the powerful can meet privately to commiserate and negotiate deals. Of course, these establishments are all of varying quality. And at the bottom of the heap is the Marquis Moon.

History

The Marquis Moon has had a seedy reputation almost since it opened its doors, when it catered to those who needed a discreet place to conduct business. This made the place popular with the movers and shakers, who could make secret deals without attracting undue attention. Unfortunately, its value as a political haven evaporated quickly as a series of scandals erupted, each one with the Marquis Moon at the center. Later, the Moon was reinvented as a flophouse with lodging rented by the hour. Those having the coin could buy rooms for extended periods, and those who wanted but a few moments of carnal pleasure in the comforts of a room—rather than a piss-soaked alley—could rent one.
When the previous owner of the place died, the Marquis Moon passed to his son Ficca, who was more concerned with using the rooms than actually renting them.
