[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 5731717, member: 21064"] Outside the tavern, rain has started to drizzle down from the heavens. The already overcast day is given an even gloomier mood. The square around the Red Dragon sculpture, usually bustling with activity, is practically empty. A few stalwart merchants have remained to hawk their wares, but no customers are in sight. From this scene of dreary inactivity emerges a large man. Covering his head with his apron, he bursts into the Tavern with a jovial roar. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Hear ye, patrons of the Red Dragon Inn! The name is Edwyd, of Edwyd's Victuals next door, and I have a proposition for you. As you might already know, today is my anniversary, and I have baked a [i]most[/i] delicious pie for my [i]delectable[/i] wife, over in the High District. Today's a miserable day, I know, but there's nothing like a party to bring up your spirits!

[sblock=Knowledge (geography) DC: 5] Orussus' High District is located in the north west part of the city. Wealthy merchants and nobles live there.
