has never been a Moot that concluded quickly, and
foreign visitors have been known to faint from hunger
or exhaustion. Also within the hall are offices for
scores of scribes and other bureaucrats at the disposal
of the clan leaders and speakers. These workers
maintain extensive records of all Moot gatherings
which eventually become part of the Codex.
Mountain Oasis: Despite its peculiar décor, the
Mountain Oasis is a popular tavern in the Hammer
District, situated along the main thoroughfare near
the Gold Gate. The tavern is owned by the unlikely
partnership of Kuvesh Olidivich (female Khard
Exp3/Ftr6), a former Khadoran merchant, and
Bollomvorgobelt (male gobber Rgr5/Rog3), one of
Ghord’s resident gobbers. The Oasis is decorated with
trinkets, artwork, and imported silks. Bollo may have
once been a desert gobber, but he is evasive when
questioned about his origins. Humans and foreign
visitors frequent the Oasis, but a number of dwarves
are regular patrons for the spicy cuisine and exotic
liquors. Kuvesh is semi-retired, but she keeps a small
steeply priced inventory of rare goods from the human
kingdoms. She has connections to river smugglers
from Llael who can find almost anything for the
right price.
Observatory, The: The most recognizable
landmark in the Arcane District, the
observatory is a squat tower topped by a
louvered ceiling with an array of telescopes
for observation of the heavens. This
building serves as the headquarters for
the diviner branch of the Brand of Odom.
The Observatory recently recovered from
a nasty fire thought to be some mysterious
experiment gone awry. Leading the staff
is Chief Astronomer Korm Odom (male
dwarf Div12), a respected divination
specialist.
Ghordson Foundry: The Ghordson
Foundry was established nearly a thousand
years ago and produces some of the
mightiest Rhulic steamjacks available such
as the Ghordson Driller. Unlike human-made
warjacks, most Rhulic models are not specifically
built for war—although they can fight if required.
Most warjacks produced at the foundry are outfitted
with utilitarian features capable of assisting in
construction projects or hauling heavy loads. The
current foreman is Master Mechanik Jogud Ghordson
(male dwarf Amk12).
