Fay runs this shop. A portly lady in her late 40s. Fay is a hopeless gossip, and is one of the most knowledgeable people in the city(At least when it comes to the latest gossip).

Both of them are exceptionally good looking, and receive many small gifts from ladies wanting their attentions(occasionally, they even take some lady to a ball or dance). Whether they are just leading on the ladies, or if they are lovers, or if they like each other and the ladies, their clothing is superb.

This shop uses a special type of wax to seal messages into bottles.

This small business offers cheap, and reliable Sedan services to all parts of the city.

This business located on the outskirts of the city had two sources of income. Due to the scarcity of horses, they offer horse rides to those that are interested. Also, they have people stationed throughout the city, that you can hire to deliver a speedy message. (this has created a whole subclass of people who do nothing but clean up after the horses that the messengers ride)

This restaurant on the sea front, has agents on most of the fishing ships, that insure that they always get the freshest, and largest fish.

This little teashop holds perhaps one of the only true fortunetellers in the city. Unfortunately, her services are not for sell. However, the wary do keep an eye on the shop, because she always closed down locks it up long before any major storms come in. So far, people have not noticed any of these "predictions" to be wrong.

Elegant, suave, expensive. A playground for those nobles who want to get a taste of the seamier side of life without being in danger (this tavern actually has a dedicated staff of people who look dangerous, seedy, and common. They do not let anybody into this tavern, so they maintain this staff of dangerous types to give it the feel of a real tavern)

The man who runs this wineshop is named Carniard. He is perpetually dressed in a toga, and has a cup of wine in his hand. For all his drinking, he has never actually been seen drunk. He does offer an excellent and wide selection of wines.

This inn is the inn of the common seaman who wants to get away from the sea. Contained in its rooms is nothing at all remotely related to the oceans, or to ships. It never serves fish.

This tavern specializes in red wines. If it isn't red, it isn't good. They offer a small variety of ales and ciders, but their selection of red wines is truly astounding.

supposedly called that because it has only featherbeds, actually was named after the courtesan that started it as a house of pleasure, she was shrewd money wise, but not creatively. (She called herself Feather)

This shop is adjacent to the Glorious Grape, and is in fact run by the same man. The two business are kept separate because Carniard does not think that people would enjoy shopping while others are busy drinking their troubles away

Fish. Every kind of fish imaginable can be found at this dockside stall. All of them guaranteed fresh. Even more amazing than the variety of fish available, are the reasonable prices

According to Harnal, the foreigner who runs this shop, cheese is the food of the gods. While many people disagree with his actual worshiping of cheese(according to Fay, he has gone so far as to construct a shrine to cheese in the back room which he performs foul rites over) most people do enjoy cheese with their meals, so he does manage to stay in business.

According to the sign on the door, they have spices strong enough to bring the dead back to life. This is an understatement. Barely.

The proprietor of this shop is regrettably rude, but is a talented butcher(according to Fay, you had best watch what you get from him, there have been any number of disappearances, and somebody once told her that they found a ladies ring in meat that they bought from this shop)

Julio is a very pale man, and is rarely seen outside of his shop. His family runs a massive farm on the northern end of the island, and he sells their crops to provision ships.

This establishment sits on top of natural hot springs. There is one spot where a fine mist sprays up through cracks in the floor, creating a soft, ghostly sound, that some people likened to the song of a Siren beckoning them into that steam room... Shortly after that observation, the current name was acquired.

People who go to this bathhouse are undoubtedly clean when they come out. Every single bath in this bathhouse is a gigantic bubble bath. It is *VERY* popular with the youth of the city.

This is a feasthall that caters to women... it is staffed by attractive beefcakes, who are not opposed to earning a special "tip" on the side.

This feasthall is the companion one to the Salacious Satyr. Attractive ladies, who are likewise not opposed to earning those special tips, staff it.

Disguised Delights is a unique brothel. All of the girls and guys in it where masks over their faces, and every customer that goes in is provided a mask. That way, anonymity is protected(unless of course people have those pesky birthmarks)

This is shop is one that is mostly of use to the nobles (except for the nets which it provides to fisherman, and the bows and arrows which they provide to the guard and navy) There is very little true hunting ground on the island, so, only the nobles use it.
