Contacts:

- Favored: Nyelle, a spirit trafficker
- Elynn, a dock worker
- Rolan, a drug dealer

- Esme, a tavern owner, The Broken Anchor at the Docks
The Broken Anchor is a tavern in the Docks built in a network of natural caves that had existed in the island from which the district had been constructed. It occupies a series of small to medium sized caverns with only a handful of tables each, lit by a multitude of small and dim electroplasmic lights hanging from the wires crisscrossing the ceiling. Metal flooring had been installed over the natural rock, which made it hard to sneak around. As such, it was prized by Doskvol's criminal element as a place to discuss business. Little was known about the middle aged proprietor, but rumors abound. A large glass pot filled with money rests on the tavern's the counter. For a few pieces of silver, anyone can try to take a guess at her past and, if correct, Esme has said that they could take the pot. So far, people had only ever put money in.
