Friend and Foe Inn and Tavern
A sprawling four-story building on Bulwark Ave, the Friend and Foe is always lively and open. The main tavern room is two stories and is home to the famous Negotiator’s Round Table, a large table that circles a constantly burning brazier.
The tavern and inn are well worn but well cleaned and kept up with. There is no stage, but on any night there may be an assortment of entertainers.
Innkeeper Edna
Edna is a stout Dweran. She inherited the inn from her parents, as well as her connections to the Companions. She is loyal to a fault to them. She is 5’2” with black hair, a muscular build, and light brown skin. She is also quite the fixer, setting up various jobs that always benefit the Companions.
Bartender Alix
A faun who worked their way up through the ranks of the Companions from childhood. They are friendly and charismatic, a sympathetic ear to any who come in. And they have a mouth that immediately reports any important information to Edna.
Guards Biff and Bash
Retired entertainers from the Todaran family circus, they were hired for their stout frames but also their charisma. It takes more than a strong arm to keep the barroom from chaos, and they diffuse more situations with their tongues than with their cudgels.
Alistair
Teran male. Late 20s/early 30s, dresses in more avant-garde bardic clothes. Wears guyliner. Plays a variety of stringed instruments and sings. Alistair is a common sight at the Friend and Foe, as he is the resident musical artist of the inn. When he’s not there, it tends to be because he’s been hired to play at some fancy shindig or another as his reputation does proceed him. He is a known quantity in the city and as such is up to date on all sorts of current gossip and rumors floating about. He is also quite an accomplished musician. In truth he is an agent of The Eye. Used as an inside man, essentially, most of his extra-curricular performances are arranged to give him access to important documents, to listen in on an secret meeting, or to simply get an accurate casing of a location for a job of The Hand. Some jobs, however, are simply because he is a hot commodity when it comes to parties and those, it must be said, are his favorites. He is an excellent source of information for all aspects of Kowal and can impart some especially select information to those with a connection to the Companions.
