Glassmakers.

The gun walks and uses a built in head cannon. FN .50. Mini Jolanti.

FN= FLINT NAIL.

Nilmegs!

No one knows his caste as he wears an all encompasing leather suit.

I suspect Licorice myself.

So Goldfang's is also where you go to buy a Wildday's night special...

Under the counter, hot, numbers filed off Mostali pistols. From the Gimp, the Mostali barman.

Cite?

As of "Pavis&Big Rubble" in the Gloranthan Classics (and thus, I presume, the original "Pavis" set) this wasn't the case.  Later books may have superseded that info...?

 

Must be from the games I've played in. There's actually a picture of one by the main gate in the New Pavis book. In our games they were in the Big Rubble, Badside etc, just not in New Pavis. Some how it has become canon in my head

There's a thread on one of the sites about just this. Will go search.

Goldfangs is also famous for its gambling on fighting fish in the basement.  Of course that isn't the only fights you can bet on.  There a pit matches where rubble runners, snakes, troll beetles, savage dogs, roosters etc. fight each other while the clientelle gamble on the outcome.  Periodically there are cage fights where odd non-humans fight for rich prizes.  Ducks fight Morokanth or trollkin, newtlings, baboons etc.  It is a rare human who is allowed to compete, but back when New Pavis was only recently occupied , the Gimpys crew were forced into either performing in a gimp match for Lunar amusement or losing the bar.  They don't like to remember that episode, and nurse a grudge towards Sitzmag who organized the humiliating affair.  It is suggested that as far as the animal fights go, there is one thing you can rely on; the losers will wind up on the menu. 

Fantastic. My pc will be gambling on fighting fish.

Biggs, the Morokanth.  For a price, he can take anyone you deliver and make them vanish for a while, then later bring them back mostly-unharmed.

Kidnappers use him to conceal their victims while they negotiate with the families/guilds/etc; people who just need to lay really REALLY low for a while because they're being hunted... etc.

Biggs acts as an agent for a small clan of Morokanth, who hold the people as Herd-Men.  They see this as a form of (Waha-approved) "raiding".

 

Pretty sure Morokanth are banned from Pavis, aren't they? Perhaps his awakened Herd man is the go between or the Herd Man is Biggs. He supplies the herd man snaggers for the grill too...

Is Goldfang a vampire? There are rumours, and a ban on Humakti at the door. But that could be because of the general, harmonious fertility of the bar and the general boringness of those with the Death Rune.

What happens to dead Lunars, especially those far from home?

Are they traditionally burnt or buried back in the Empire? Do they continue to follow these practices elsewhere?

How's it all going?

A wiki is a good idea, though riffing off each other somewhere like here is the best part.

Lesney all the way. I was lucky and got my Dad's childhood collection.

@Byll ... Master Map maker.

I was thinking that it would be fun to come up with inhabitants etc for each/some of the buildings not covered in depth already in this great city of ours. Like the Goldfang thread I started. It would be a great resource for us all.

Whatcha reckon?

I am modelling Goldfang's somewhat on 1920's Berlin.

Adari is built over several great natural cisterns. It was one of the reasons that the trade centre was set up there. A benevolent water spirit resides within the dark waters, revered by Trolls and Humans alike. Some say it was a product of a Dehori spirit and a local water Nymph, others via the magical meddling of Pavis' father.

I think here are many madmen here, drawn by the magics of days gone by. Fallen shamans, Tada dreamers, Darkness seekers and Mushroom eaters.

Perhaps the Issaries Temple has a local hero cult, which deals with Elves and Trolls.

It's a mongrel mix of a town. First folk were blow ins and Traders keen to exploit the Troll market. 

There's local Troll Ball teams and magically enhanced Beetle speedway racing, both ground and air. Think Star Wars Tatooine pod racing but on beetles through the Troll canyons..

"Tassels" a diminutive  Birch Dryad from Rist does a set on Fireday where she sheds her bark to the accompaniment of a runner pan-pipe band. No one knows where her tree is, but there are rumours that she's been seen sneaking into Hucipites house (S76)

Awesome

Care to add what goes on, who the punters are?

Pavis. R-87 Goldfang's Grotto. Riverside Inn. Known for unique entertainment.

Goldfang is a male Baboon, who wears a Pelorian lady's bonnet and a different dress each night. The establishment puts on many a risqué show for it's punters and is a haunt of Duck courtesans, tailless Newtlings and buffed centaurs. The Gimp is a hooded Mostali, who serves skin curdling drinks to those that dare.

What else goes down here? I have a pc who is about to take part in a backroom gambling match, the stakes or the game so far unknown.

Have any of you ever visited?

The lady is very pale, wonder where she is from?

It's my favourite town in Glorantha. There was a write up in the third Tales of the Reaching moon.

Argan Agrar worship is strong here and it occasionally fills with Sartarite refugees whose clans are strong in Darkness.

Some say it was once called Tadari, and was the seat of the ancient hero. Those hatching plots to bring him back can be found here, skulking in the shadows.

Weekly Trollkin fights are held.

It's like a crazy Mad Max/Star Wars town for me.
