 | Of course, it is I, Alatar Locke, jotting down this absurdly brief note for unknown posterity.  I am moved to write by the remains of this once-bustling pub.  The remains of containers and bottles tell me the food and drink here came from around Auberean; the best of everything came here: fruit, meat, cheese,  fine teas, distilled spirits.

----

Aside from the bothersome undead who seem tied to the kitchen area, I find the furthest recesses of this place a quiet place to come sit, think, and relax.  The furnishings and artwork there are tastefully modeled after older themes and designs (perhaps with help from a certain well-learned scholar from elsewhere in the City), and that brings the depth and sweetly melancholic atmosphere of ancient history.  But more than that, perhaps I sense around me the faint echoes of Empyrean presences; it is as if I can hear their voices even now....
