The Shadowed Nyx

The Shadowed Nyx opened roughly a decade ago when Selene Vex took over a crumbling cellar tavern previously frequented by petty thieves and cutpurses. Over the years, she transformed it into a fortress of secrecy and influence for the thieves’ guild, shifting from a hideout into a hub for shadow deals and underworld politics. The tavern has survived several raids and covert attempts to seize it, largely due to Selene’s cunning and the protection of its patrons.

History

The Shadowed Nyx opened roughly a decade ago when Selene Vex took over a crumbling cellar tavern previously frequented by petty thieves and cutpurses. Over the years, she transformed it into a fortress of secrecy and influence for the thieves’ guild, shifting from a hideout into a hub for shadow deals and underworld politics. The tavern has survived several raids and covert attempts to seize it, largely due to Selene’s cunning and the protection of its patrons.

Quirks

Every patron is required to wear a small mask or hood, fostering an atmosphere of anonymity but also making reading expressions tricky. The tavern’s layout subtly shifts every night — secret corridors open and close, and the lighting changes with a mysterious ebb that mimics phases of the moon.

Lore

The tavern’s name honors Nyx, the primordial goddess of night and shadows, who is revered amongst many thieves for her gifts of concealment and silence. Local legend holds that during eclipses, Nyx’s veil thins here, and the tavern becomes a nexus of power for those who deal in secrets and darkness. It's whispered that long ago, a shadow deity blessed Selene’s ancestors, granting their bloodline subtle shadow magic—a gift that seems strongest within these walls after dusk.
