Quote from: "EvilRoeSlade"
Quote from: "Ktavialt"Problem with Sanctuary is that it's right on the road that heads out the gates. People who have just came in from a hunting trip don't want to shack up their mount somewhere and walk all the way over to the bar in the northwestern part. It ain't natural.

As long as people don't seem to care that dirty people are in Sanctuary,
which they don't, then there's no incentive to go to a scummier bar just
because its scummier. The Sanctuary is convenient, near the gates, and
right next to the stables.

If you were a hobo, would you walk into a five-star restaraunt just because it was near your favorite hobo-haunts?  Would you even enter it ONCE before you realized you were out of place there?  No, no you wouldn't.  You'd never even find out if people cared about your presence or not, because you'd never enter in the first place.

Given that  Tuluk was rebuilt, I'm not too sure about this.
But I thought, with the gates so close, it was likely that the more grubby taverns would be there. After all, the rich don't venture out of the city much, which means they will prefer some place that is not so close to the wilds. A much more -exclusive- like place.
Have to take into account they are House owned though, not to mention the nobles are -closer- to the commoners up north.

If we're going to be petty:


-confusing Wearily/weary with Warily/wary.

This is much worse than your/yore/you're their/there or to/two/too mixups, because with those other one the mistake is obvious and so the intended meaning.  Confusing weary and wary completely changes the meaning of the sentenance in a way that is not an obvious mistake.

>The manly many glances around the tavern warily before slumping into a seat.
When you ment to say:
>The manly man glances around the tavern wearily before slumping into a seat.
Isn't something people are necessarily going to pick up on right away.

Wary = cautious
Weary = tired
