Royal Capital, Port District.
11 p.m., deep into the night.
For the Port District, this is just the beginning of the day. Late at night is often when the Port District is at its liveliest, especially around the docks.
Sailors, having toiled all day, gather in the various taverns by the docks.
Even though the Prohibition does not appear to be lifting anytime soon, the taverns are never short on alcohol, which is quite normal. After all, this is the Royal Capital's dock, possibly the largest dock in the world. Ships from various regions and countries are constantly loading and unloading here. It's inevitable that some alcohol disguised as other cargo would slip in.
The dock taverns are the first to enjoy these goods. Outwardly, no tavern admits to selling alcohol; they all now call themselves grape water bars.
Ethan randomly chose a tavern to sit down in.
