Tavern 
The plot of the previous mystery game was a conclave of mages investigating the great sorceres marten murder. The mages all killed each other over it until it was eventually revealed it was all a setup by Thomas, Warlock of Sirdia, who in fact was not a Warlock, as a plan to eliminate all mages. While his plan was foiled at the last minute, not many survivors were left so magic is all but gone in the current age.
