The Lichyard Market

The Lichyard Market is the main meat market, a gourmand’s delight, and a grotesque spectacle. It houses some of the finest taverns, popular thermopolia, and cesspools of biowaste in the City.

Sensations:

The open-air market is a riot of smells. Flies cloud the air. The ground is sticky with blood. Everything Upton Sinclair wrote is true here. The taverns are another matter. Foreign music and obscure languages wafting through the windows. Intoxicating smells: wine, garlic, butter. Raucous laughter. Someone is thrown through a window.

Rumor:

Miss Kinsey’s Dining Club lives in barely-tolerated infamy. At Miss Kinsey’s, no food is forbidden. Everything from rare flailsnails to ogre testicles to purple shrieker mushrooms are cooked, eaten, savored, and discussed. Here, you can enjoy the other, other, other white meat.

Special City Action:

• Attend Miss Kinsey’s Dining Club: The cost of entry is: One steak of meat from a strange monster or beast, to be shared by those assembled. If the cost is paid, you join Miss Kinsey for dinner with other adventuring guilds. You may ask any one question about the Underworld and hear something resembling a helpful rumor on the subject in question.
