Introduction
The Rusty Cog Tavern is an infamous establishment located in the shadowy underbelly of Sector 47 in the Aurora District on Fortis Prime. Known for its rough clientele and secretive dealings, it serves as a neutral ground for mercenaries, gangers, and others seeking to escape the notice of the Imperium.
History
Founded over a century ago, The Rusty Cog has changed hands several times, each owner adding their own mark but maintaining its neutral stance in the local power struggles. The tavern's current proprietor, Marek "Ironhand" Voss, a former Imperial Guard sergeant, took over after his retirement and has since made it a haven for those with nowhere else to turn.
Description
Exterior
The tavern's exterior is a patchwork of metal plates and rust, with a sign featuring a half-eaten cogwheel creaking on its hinges above the entrance. The flickering light from a nearby lamppost casts eerie shadows, setting the mood for what awaits inside.
Interior
Inside, The Rusty Cog is cavernous with high ceilings shrouded in shadows. The air is thick with the smell of stale smoke and strong alcohol. Relics of forgotten battles and banners from defeated enemies adorn the walls. A long bar runs the length of one wall, behind which Marek serves up drinks with gruff efficiency.
Clientele
The tavern's patrons are a mix of mercenaries, gangers, off-duty guardsmen, and various other figures from the darker corners of society. It's not uncommon to witness heated arguments or the occasional brawl, though Marek ensures disputes are settled quickly—either by his own hand or by the mutual respect he commands.
Reputation
Despite—or perhaps because of—its rough reputation, The Rusty Cog is known as a place where valuable information can be exchanged. It is rumored that many secrets have been traded over its bar, and that Marek himself is a significant player in the underground networks of Fortis Prime.
