Crazy-Eyes is a tavern in the Neti port city of Aluru that services the darker elements of the city. Cutthroats and thieves are the dominant patrons of this dark, smelly hole in the wall. Many adventurers end up on their asses outside the doors of the bar. Which is preferable for the tavernkeeper, a large and imposing female Orc known only as Crazy-Eyes. Upon meeting the strong woman, the nickname becomes apparent. Her eyes had but one color to it, a deep purple. There was no sign of a pupil nor any way to tell when she was looking you in the eye. But she most definitely could see, snatching coins thrown at her out of the air, and sliding mugs of ale across the bar with the precision only a master of their craft can pull off.
The tavern hosts many backdoor activities. From poker to knucklebones, gambling was allowed in the backrooms of the building, although the city guard would prefer they wouldn't and regularly enter the establishment to break up the gambling rings. There is also a fence that can be found at any time within the Crazy-Eyes Tavern. Someone who can pay you for those earrings you just stole.
The Crazy-Eyes Tavern is an excellent location for the less savory party members to go to in order to find out secrets from the underbelly of the city without spooking the citizens at the higher class establishments like the Crooked Noose or Five Fists. But be careful when entering Crazy-Eyes because you do not want to cross the wrong patron.
Just a small description of a tavern I hope to feature in my fantasy world. I should work to develop Crazy-Eyes the person better as well. I like the idea of idiotic customers treating an orc as if it's blind when it can probably see better than you and I.
