🍻 Dom & Alegria — Hearthkeepers of The Boiled Goose

Every city has a tavern people remember.
The Boiled Goose is remembered because of them.

Dom and Alegria run the Goose as equal parts sanctuary, information hub, and controlled disaster zone. Between Dom’s impossible cocktails and Alegria’s talent for preventing violence before it starts, the tavern has earned a reputation as one of the few places where mercenaries, scholars, smugglers, adventurers, and locals can share a table without killing each other.

Usually.

Dom handles the atmosphere: the drinks, the stories, the strange travelers, and the sense that somehow everyone belongs once they sit down long enough. His shelves are lined with ingredients gathered from distant biomes and recipes most people would consider magical experiments.

Alegria handles everything else.

If tensions rise, she notices first. If someone cheats a patron, threatens the staff, or reaches for a weapon, odds are Alegria already removed the problem before anyone realized there was one. Together, they maintain the unspoken balance that keeps the Goose alive.

The rules are simple:
Everyone eats.
No fights in the house.
Don’t steal from the table.
If you threaten the hearth, you leave.

Most adventuring parties pass through eventually.
Some find work there.
Others find warnings.
A few find themselves.

And if you stay long enough, you begin to realize something unsettling:

The Boiled Goose somehow knows things before the rest of the city does.
