The Golden Tembo
is a busy tavern that caters to the many visitors of
the city-state’s administrative center, the Temple of
the Lion God. People of all classes mingle, drink
and conduct meetings while awaiting the
disposition of a petition, or to ensure its favorable
outcome.
The ‘Tembo’ as locals call it, is rarely harassed by
templars, as they benefit from its continued
operation. There are alcoves all along the
perimeter of the tavern covered in dark curtains,
each with a small table and chairs for two. Upstairs,
larger rooms for five more people surround the
balcony overlooking the first floor. The tavern is owned by Asor and his sister Ryja, who inherited
the place from their father over fifteen years ago.
