The Slaughterhouse, Tavern, Thistle Hold

The Slaughterhouse

In two neighboring houses on a back street close to the Toad’s Square lays The Slaughterhouse. One is the actual slaughterhouse, the other a tavern that can take about a hundred guests at the long tables. The menu mainly consists of offal – heart, liver, stuffed lung and various pasty stews. It is cheap but not the least distasteful, and if you are prepared to pay more there is newly butchered fine meats to order, slow cooked or sautéed in sun-yellow butter.

Were it not for the vile rumors circulating, the owner of the Slaughterhouse, Master Morlam, would have even more guests at his tables. He mutters that it is his competitors who claim that some of the meat he is serving is waste from the Abomitorium – not only mare cats, jakaars and wild boars but also goblins, ogres and a few barbarians.

But as long as the proud Master Butcher refuses to comment on such claims the rumor mill will likely continue to grind, not least since they are based on a fair question: what happens to the remains of the creatures killed during fights in the arena?
