About
Generally considered one of the finer establishments in Li-Onas, this tavern/brothel provides weary sailors with a pleasant respite from the salt spray of the sea.
The establishment has a flair for the exotic, apparent in the food, and drinks served, as well as other entertainments available for his discerning clientele. Exotic by Iskandean standards is nearly anything foreign. The archipelago isn't very close to the mainland, so it is somewhat culturally isolated, and foreign trade ships can make good money sticking to the nations along the coast, so few make the trip to the island chain.
The Anchor as a name is partly tongue in cheek, partly a statement of fact. Aethios has essentially dropped anchor here, and it is also a nautical reference to a home away from home for sailors; a "safe anchorage" so to speak.
The tavern's sign is a comely veiled woman leaning provocatively against an large upright anchor.
