Tavern People and Special Contacts
This directory lists regional tavern people and every rare spy, adventurer and special guest directly from the active game data.
At a Glance
- The directory is generated from the currently active people and portraits.
- Availability follows the port’s assigned trade region.
- SR-06 currently has no playable port and therefore no assigned tavern people.
How regional selection works
When the tavern roster is assembled, the game matches the active port’s trade region to each person’s assigned region. A person can therefore appear in the listed ports of that region, but not automatically in ports of another region.
Enlarge portraits
Move the pointer over a thumbnail. Keyboard users can focus the image. Enlarging it changes no selection and reveals no story or rumour spoilers.
All Tavern People by Region
The directory is generated from the active game data. A person can appear in ports whose assigned trade region matches the person’s region.
