The Shiv:

The Shiv is a rougher part of town full of tightly constructed buildings that house appartments and flop houses.  While the nobles and wealthy merchants rarely come to the Shiv Alley district there are some notable cultural icons.  The haunted Red Moon Inn notable for attracting those insterested in Spectral phenenomon is known through out the world of Bamf.  Across the street from the Red Moon is Tor the All Seeing a well known fortune teller and shaman.  Both businesses manage to thrive in the otherwise poor district.   Red Moon brews one beer a Red Ale bearing its Red mark which is popular through out Swordsnest.

The barkeep of the Red Moon is named Osferon.  Osferon has been working so long as the barkeep at the Red Moon that some think him immortal.  He stands out to all who enter with his pale white skin.  He wears a bandanna over his eyes.  Most believe Osferon is blind and lost his wars on an adventure long ago.  He is a man of few words, and many mysteries.
