The Wounded Sparrow
History
From an outsider's perspective, this worn and tattered building looks like an Inn & Tavern for the light of wealth.

Hopeful's looking to join the guild, often spend a night or two here, but few who consider themselves civilized would enter such a questionable establishment.
A door can be found towards the back of the Wounded Sparrow. It is locked and under 24 hour guard. Members of the Unseen Hand need only recite the guild response to be admitted entrance. Those who wish to break and enter often find themselves maimed. Located in the City of Khita, in the Kingdom of Rema, this outpost is home to some of the most skilled and renowned members of the Unseen Hand. As Khita is almost unanimous with the terms pickpocket and thievery, one should always be on alert so they do not become the prey of others, and most should be wary of trying to steal anything from someone within this guild hall.
The Wounded Sparrow Guild Hall
Located in the cellar of The Wounded Sparrow, the first room of this establishment is a bar for the guilds many members.

This hall also has a couple stores where unique items can be found, and they are located in the back rooms of the cellar.

Guild Shops
The Sewer Rats Poison Bar
Upon landing on the cellar floor, you will see the long saloon style bar reaching towards the far end of the room. Though you can order a drink at this bar, they mostly deal in poisons.
The Wenches Wrenches
Hasadur, a half-orc female with a flare for enchantments, is known for changing the appearance of deadly weapons into simple household tools. Though most of her sales are done with items she currently has in store, she has been known to accept the occasional commission for the right price. These weapons are great for sneaking past a point where they would otherwise not be allowed. These weapons appear mundane to those searching for weapons. These weapons are detectable via a Detect Magic Spell.
Whispers & Secrets
The only goods available at this little windowed stall are rumors and secrets. The human female will not accept traditional currency, and instead you must offer a rumor or secret of your own. Bartering with whispers is a risky business as once you listen to one you are bound to it. This wasn't an issue when the store first opened, but some have started to whisper quests as their offering. If you receive a quest from The Whispers and Secrets, you are bound to complete it. Whispers are weighed on an unbiased, magical scale. You speak your whisper or secret into a glass jar and place it upon the shopkeepers scale. Depending on the quality of the rumor, she will point out what jars are of equal value.
