Back to The Inns and Taverns of Battal
Ostensably, a dining establishment. The JestHause is actually much more often a center of commerce and local government in most villages and towns in Ezermethalon.
Live comedy and meat and potatoes fare are served up every night, and among the tables many deals are made and broken. The Jest Berger, lord of the house, plays broker to such deals, and also runs an trade in human beings, all the jobs of the house filled with those kept in indentured servitude. Farmers too poor to pay the land tax sell daughters, merchants too unprofitable to feed another mouth sell sons, and the Jest Berger profits from all.
In Book 5, Felthar first appears as an indentured coat-check slave in a JestHause in New Capitol City.
