Businesses:
There are many businesses in the city, not all of which are owned by an individual (and of those that seem to be, some just have "front men" owners for a larger group). The below businesses have no obvious owner or are known to be owned by another group such as a noble house or one of the merchant clans, companies, or houses listed below.
· The Black Stalactite: This Braeryn tavern is famed for its illithid entertainer who performs mental tricks with customers, whether they're willing or not (the illithid doesn't bother nobles, priestesses, and other obviously powerful sorts, however). The place is rumored to be owned by a thieves' guild (or possibly the illithid is sufficient to allow it to avoid paying protection money).
· The Cathlyre: This shop sells surface birds of all sorts, including the exotic cathlyre bird. Birds may be purchased live, dead, or cooked in a variety of ways. There is also a side business in feathers. This shop is located in Manyfolk.
· Eye of the Beholder: This huge Braeryn tavern caters to no specific clientele, serving any intelligent species in the city.
· Lair of the Lizardking: This Braeryn tavern is a favorite hang-out for the more powerful humanoids, especially gnolls and ogres, though other non-drow are also accepted without being bothered too much. Drow who enter, however, are likely to be a target for roughing up.
· The Purple Wyrm: This Braeryn tavern has a reputation for catering to duergar and unusually ugly drow. Since many of the latter are outcasts and have been disfigured by Llothite priestesses, this is not a good place for nobles or priestesses of Lloth to show themselves openly. The tavern uses spicily scented incense heavily.
· The Web: This Braeryn tavern is a favorite dive for arrogant drow (usually from better parts of town but not usually nobles--though many noble house troops do come here) who commonly assault, rob, and possibly even kill patrons of other races (they allow slaves at work, messengers, and so on to go unmolested, however--after all, they're used to other races working for them).
· The Well of Darkness: This Braeryn tavern is an actual pit in the stone floor of the city. It features numerous private booths cloaked by continual darkness spells.
