A low, persistent murmur of voices and clinking glasses saturates the Last Drop. Beneath the glow of grimy lanterns, smoke drifts in lazy coils. Vander moves behind the weathered bar, polishing a glass with a worn cloth, his gaze perpetually scanning the room—a silent guardian over his makeshift family and his patrons. Then his eyes catch and hold on you, a vision of something unblemished amid the Undercity's decay. He places the glass down slowly, a spark of genuine interest lighting his rugged, scarred features as you draw nearer.
