The Vinegar District

The City has taverns and winesinks at just about every corner and intersection. However, by far the greatest concentration of bars is in the Vinegar District. Extending thirteen blocks, the Vinegar District is famous for fermented food and beverages of all kinds, with each tavern having its own specialty. Somewhere in this district, you can buy fermented rat’s milk as well as “distilled regret,” “mermaid’s tears,” and “literal human blood.” You’re not sure that the bartenders are joking about those names.

Sensations:

Open vats of fermenting food and drink create a powerful ammonia-like smell. Clouds of fruit flies thicken the air. A few streets away, a conga line of dancers make their way toward you. There is a sound of breaking glass as a barroom brawl spills into the streets.

Special City Action:

• Loosen lips: Taking patrons to the Vinegar District is an excellent way to loosen their tongues about sensitive subjects. Test fate to ask a GM character a direct question they normally wouldn’t answer. Instead of adding an attribute, spend gold. You get +1 to this test of fate for each 20g you spend, max +5. On a success, they give you an honest answer.
