About this environment

The Broken Mast Tavern is a rowdy, alcohol-soaked haven on the Azure Anchor that transforms into a quiet, heavily atmospheric space the morning after, smelling of stale ale, wood polish, and simmering stew.
Friends can be made just as quickly as enemies. There are always opportunity for work to be found and even trades that happen outside of the Ruby Exchange.
