Asprofrourio, Chain of Islands, Sea of Fate |
This "white fortress" rests far west in the chain of islands, 50 miles from the coast. As the name implies, it is an offshore defense from possible invaders.
Notable Taverns/Bars/Inns: Aspropapia ("White Duck") (T), Apomonosi ("Reclusion") (I).
Aspropapia or "White Duck" (Tavern)
This tavern is neat and orderly. It is often frequented by island speaking locals and the military. Hence, the atmosphere is receptive to entertainment, such as musicians, jugglers, and puppeteers, but it is hardly ever any raucous behavior here.
This is a list of the drink and food specialties it offers. The costs are for travelers. Locals barter goods and services for payment.
Menu Specialties |
| Description | Cost |
Root Beer | This beer contains hops and grains but it is made with a local root that gives it a distinct earthy flavor. | 1s |
Sunale | Made from sun flowers seeds and dragon fruit, it is a big hit here. Regulars simply say what sounds like "some ale" when they are really saying "sunale." | 1s |
Violeta Wine | It is a deep, dark violet colored wine made from local grapes. It is slightly sweet and has hints of cinnamon. | 2s |
Duck Plate | Made from an ocean duck that is grey with a bright white beak, it comes with troll fingers (asparagus), cucumber salad, and salty white cheese. | 2s |
Fish and Leaks | Several bone-in (edible), small, slightly salty fish are served with an ample ammount of fried leaks cooked in lemon and butter. It is a delicious dish by the most picky eater. | 2s |
Apomonosi or "Reclusion" (Inn)
This is another neat and orderly establishment. It is a large complex complex of rooms made mostly of some sort of clay mixture that is whitewashed with a limestone mixture. The place is covered in flowering plants -- white roses, yellow narcissus, and purple hyacinths. The inn is set away from the noise and commotion from commerce and entertainment.
Run by a stout couple who speak using broken common tongue, Alaxes and Rytha Sousisos, they are helpful and hospitable.
