Jörðgarð Map of the Week #75 - Market Tavern
With the 75th Map of the Week. We continue in the borderlands town of Óðinn's House in the Kingdom of Slovania. This week we take a look at the Market Tavern.
The most interesting (albeit unknown until now) element of the Market Tavern is that the tavernkeep, Patrik, really is the deep devil Fargruz, a slave of the devil Gadreel in Newhouse. Farguz slew both the real Patrik and his wife years ago, ate their bodies and then stole Patrik's identity. Precisely what Farguz has been assigned to do in Óðinn's House is uncertain. It is clear that Gadreel wants Farguz to stimulate unrest and fear in the town and also to diminish trust in all ruling elements within both the town and the kingdom. His remarks as tavernkeep help do this. However, Gadreel no doubt intends to have his deep devil do more as time passes. One thing is certain, however, albeit it also unknown. For several years, there has been an unexplained disappearance of one person monthly in Óðinn's House. These disappearances are due to the fact that Farguz snatches victims to eat them.
