Secrets : Just east of the Great Hall Enclosure is an odd collection of structures scattered atop a small, plateau. This plateau is the entertainment center of the city and is named after the largest and most important structure on it, the Beer Tent. Ragged tents and dilapidated wood structures circle a larger, more elaborate stone and wood structure sitting directly in the center of the plateau. Goblin squatters have made temporary homes all over the plateau. These squatters simply sit in one spot and create a small fire to stay warm until the Pardahun Votar shoo them away. In the meantime, they scavenge, steal, and squabble over scraps of food or a silver or two a passing orc or other may throw at them (more to try striking them than out of sorrow for them). The ragged shacks around the main structure are private inns and food/entertainment shops. The main structure is known as the Beer Tent. This is the main spot in the city where one can meet and blow off a little aggression. This tavern hosts a variety of clients from every social class above and below ground. There are several small rooms built into the side of the structure where one can mingle without being mobbed by drunken orc warriors. The Beer Tent is a rough place but if one keeps his head down, weapon at the ready, he may just find others in decent spirits and a break from the ever-present violence of the city. The lower half of the walls are build of stone and the upper halves and roof of wood. There is one bar immediately on the right as you enter. Several wood tables and chairs are lined up around a small pit (a small version of the main pit in the west of the city) in the center of the room. Orcs yell and laugh at the orcs that play orkish games within the pit while they eat and drink large amounts of alcohol. As you enter the Beer Tent, only a couple orcs look up and notice that you have entered. The others are far too entertained to pay you any mind. On the right wall is a long bar with stools. One orc is passed out on a stool with his head lying on the bar. Behind the bar is a busy-looking orc. The owner and barkeep is an old orc named Phlog. Phlog is nasty and brutish even by orkish standards. It is said that working for him is worse than working on the work crews. Female orcs emerge from the back rooms some being escorted by clients, others have their hands full of plates stacked with meat and mugs of orkish ale. The females deliver their loads and speak sexually to the orc clients in the room. Carved upon a wood sign above the bar is a menu though the menu never changes day or night. Quote: 4 crowns: stew with meat (grain optional) 6 crowns: specials (talk to female) 5 crowns: dark ale (mug) 8 crowns: angry brew (pint) (Scribbled below the menu on the same board is an additional sentence) Crash tent 20 crown a night You stand in the doorway marveling at the rowdy on-goings. Finally, a voluptuous female orc approaches you. “What ju wan’ ?” she asks politely. The orc pauses, “ or who ju want?” she says winking to you with a seductive look in her eyes.

Glanos entered the rowdy beer tent, a favorite stop of his during his time in Orckon. The crowds were lively this brightening, as always, and the noise of the place could be heard through all of the adjacent quarters surrounding the establishment. He had come for another pint of Angrybrew, the city famous drink of the Orcs.


Stepping past rowdy tables, beer maids, and Orcs, Glanos made his way inside until the female Orc had greeted him. Being a regular, he was known to the establishment by most, except for those that didn't pay attention or were new. "Angrybrew and fast." He said with a grin. His stiletto was concealed but handy incase anything happened. As this establishment, entertainment was the order of the day, but preparation for anything was required for the Orcs that knew the place.


He sat at the bar area, watching the crowds and laughter, waiting for his drink.
