-These characters can distinguish, on sight, an ordinary tavern or public house from one that's plainly popular with the right sort of people and business.  This ensures not just sustenance, but a memorable gastronomic experience.  Beyond food, the character has an uncanny knack for uncovering the pulse of the city's nightlife.  The symbols and codes ascribed on walls or upon the paving stones lead to theaters showcasing the finest plays, opera houses with world-class performances, vibrant gambling houses with high-stakes games, and discreet entrances to establishments catering to a range of tastes and desires.
