Chapter 1768 - Meeting the Messenger (Part One)

The Ferryman's Cup straddled the line between a working man's tavern and a merchant's pub. The ground floor of the establishment had dedicated itself to cheap ale and hearty meals, with rough-hewn benches and long tables packed shoulder-to-shoulder with men looking for a warm meal after a long day's work. The second floor of the tavern, however, held private dining rooms as clean and well-appointed as any guild-hall in Blackwell city, where men of means could meet for dinners that combined the pleasure of a good meal and fine wine with much more serious business.
