The Woflo Inn caters to the buccaneering and smuggling trades, and is thereby watched by the City Guard and under the protection of the Thieves’ Guild.  Funny business is not long tolerated, even if the fanatically loyal clientele permitted the same.  The Woflo is renowned in the Mariners’ District for the best stews in the Old City; there is a large garden in back, and fresh herbs and vegetables can be had in season.  The inn has ample room for guests, as well as two separate escape tunnels from the basement into the sewers.

The innkeeper is Grace, a winsomely pretty redhead who is not yet twenty and has recently taken over the inn from her older sister Elaina; she is still feeling her way around the set ways of the staff and clientele.  The barkeep is Jurgin, a Fristle (cat man) with a love of singing and wenching, and who is himself a tolerably decent fighter with a rapier.

Notables who might be around include several powerful adventurers; Elaina is a water wizard of near-legendary power, and her bodyguard Kardo is a renowned ex-pirate.  During good weather the clientele runs to longshoremen and merchant mariners; when winter sets in, the Inn fills up with buccaneers and smugglers settling in for a few months.

Keva One-Eye, the local ganglord, has a backroom set aside for her uses.  Her lieutenants are Jakaesa, who brokers smuggled goods through a cell of buyers, one of longshoremen and one to launder through legitimate businesses; Layco, who runs street crime in the district, with two loan sharks, a fence, two burglars, two pickpockets and three button men; and Julian, a dealer in opium who runs a profitable pawnshop nearby.  Keva is a skilled knifefighter and a veteran of the underworld wars, and always travels with two ex-legionnaire guards.   Another frequent customer is Galna, a scarred, short, heavy balding man who is head of the largest smugglers ring in the city and kinsman of the Harbormaster; he is often here conferring with Keva and other crime lords.
