Legends

As the name suggests, the tavern Legends is a watering hole for all who are fascinated by the past. Here come the most popular storytellers in the realm, to mesmerize the audience with stories of the feats of House Kohinoor, the suppression of unrighteous rebellions and remarkable individuals who rose from poverty to elevated positions during the olden days of Alberetor. Other stories are about The Great War, its victories but also about the little man’s valiant struggle against both fear and dreadful enemies.

Most of what is heard at Legends has been modified and dramatized, just like the many returning patrons want it. But now and again, sessions are arranged with some of Ambria’s most prominent historians; events that may be less exciting for those listening but which provide something to enchant the real enthusiasts. Seldonio, the Grand Master of Ordo Magica, has been one such guest, so also Queen Mother Abesina’s personal biographer and one of High Chieftain Tharaban’s chroniclers. The latter treated the audience to a real horror story about the elves of Davokar and something he called “The Halls of a Thousand Blood-Red Tears”.

During sessions like these the security is heightened, not least because of the closeness to Davokar and the fear that the Iron Pact or hostile barbarians will move in on the dignitaries. But so far only two attacks have been repelled. Lasifor Nightpitch was the first intended victim and the war hero Herakleo Attio the second, and on both occasions the perpetrators were drunk, displeased and misguided residents – in Herakleo’s case, his own unruly brother, Serex Attio.
