History

Originally a carpenter’s workshop, the building was converted into The Grim Shelf Tavern less than a decade ago when Mara Vex took ownership. Since then, it has quietly become the favored haunt of pickpockets, fences, and rogues who operate beneath the city’s surface.

Quirks

The tavern’s small size means patrons often accidentally overhear dangerous plots; hearing the wrong thing can be deadly here. Mara cues with subtle nods which patron is trustworthy.

Lore

Local legend says The Grim Shelf got its name from a hidden ledge above the tavern's back wall where stolen goods were once stashed in plain sight but out of reach. Some say the shelf still holds secrets from past heists, though Mara forbids anyone from searching for them.
