The nameless tavern is quieter and cleaner than most. In the dimly-lit main room, a dozen masked and hooded patrons drink in silence or speak in a low voice. You ask the barman some wine and are surprised to receive a cup of fine Bretonnian vintage instead of the poor quality stuff you were expecting. You decide to just sit at a table and listen to the conversations, but there is not much you can hear. You only pick up a few words like ''nightfall'' and ''election''. Hours pass, and you estimate it must be night outside. More and more people arrive until the main room is full. It does not make your task any easier: it just means more whispers to listen to.

The nameless tavern is quieter and cleaner than most. In the dimly-lit main room, a dozen masked and hooded patrons drink in silence or discuss in a low voice. You ask the barman some wine and are surprised to receive a cup of fine Bretonnian vintage instead of the poor quality stuff you were expecting. This is obviously not a place for boisterous thugs, but the people here look no less dangerous.

It may be cautious to stay discreet and just eavesdrop on conversations, but perhaps you will have more success if you join a trio playing cards at a table or try to chat with the lonely individual sitting in a corner.
