Vex Mora
Welcome to the last place you want to be. Vex-Mora is a town located just to the west of Mary's tavern. Those who have nowhere to go have decided to settle in the area. Unsavory folks with pasts that rival most. But....there is always a reason to visit...
​
Here, you can find anything you need. Nearly. Lost, forbidden magics and potions. Items of rarity. Things...that others may find hard to stomach. Favors from those who have nothing left to lose. The price you pay will depend. Not always is coin accepted..
​
The trail is overgrown. The air is putrid. You will know when you arrive. The question is, will you leave in one piece? You may want to consider masking who you truly are...
The people that roam Vex Mora are far from friendly. Never assume you can gain any leeway here unless you have a pocket full of coin, or an item of value. The best thing for you to do is do your business and get out. They may live as a community, but they are far from the word. Attacking and eating each other is a common occurrence.

Corrosive Concoctions
Need something a little more 'aggressive'? How about something downright...taboo? Go see Milian at Corrosive Concoctions. Having been the at the headstone of Vex Mora's beginning, Milian has also been the local "Poison Man" if you will. He can get you anything. If he can't find it, he will make it. Everything within this establishment has a high price...

Witches Witness
The Witch’s Witness is run by, you guessed it, a witch. Her name is Barbara and she claims to be more or less a prophet of witchcraft. You’ll find everything from voodoo dolls to ancient, cursed books containing knowledge man should never have here… All for a price. She doesn’t just take money, but she also trades for things you’ll regret giving away. If you try to cheat or trick her the saying goes that “you’d be better off trying to run from the devil in hell than getting away from this woman”.
Chopping Block
The Chopping Block is the prime butcher’s shop in Vex Mora. Run by a strange, unidentifiable monstrosity in the guise of a man’s flesh (Mostly...or at least, that’s the rumor) who goes by the unassuming name of Carl, there’s no better place to find quality meat, not in any other shady back alley in Vex Mora! Though, the owner gets rather upset if you ask where the meat comes from or about his origins… He likes to keep his secrets. But if you listen to the word on the street, not all of the meat comes from animals… Not like the people of Vex Mora mind.
Fingers and Fiddles
Fingers and Fiddles, a house of whores and a house of… Music? For some reason, every third man (or woman) hired is a musician. The music plays all day and all night, which would irritate neighbors if not for them changing the tune to be more soothing at night. The owner, Madame Marian, always goes on about how she wants to maintain an air of “class”... Despite the floors being no cleaner than the prostitutes who work there. It’s widely believed that any whore who can’t please or sing well enough for the clients and the madame ends up dismembered and tossed away like yesterday’s garbage.
The Drunken Donkey
Yee-haw, yee-haw! The Drunken Donkey, named for the donkey carcass mounted on the wall over the fireplace, is one of the least reputable pubs in town. People don’t just come here to drink, they come here to gamble, to settle scores, and to collect dues. The place is filthy and not even the drinks and food are guaranteed to be clean, but the drink and food is usually the last concern people have coming here. The owner, Darl, hates the owner of the Hellhole with a passion, and Five-Finger Lenny hates him back. It’s said that they were twins who grew up having violently opposing ideologies about the importance of cleanliness.
Celestial Athenaeum
Upon walking into the only book holding building in Vex, you will be greeted with a rather...beautiful sight. How the beasts that make up such an awful place managed to complete a gorgeous piece of architecture, no one really knows. Most because no one wants to ask. The deep you roam into Celestial Anthenaeum, the larger it gets. Rooms dedicated learning the more... "dark" arts of life. Magic and life is general. Is it worth it to try and get in? Sure. Can you get out? Perhaps...The rumor is, the owner, Mavros has a taste for large brains.
Hell Hole
The Hellhole is a tavern that is… Oddly fine for the name and the place it is located in. It is almost always spotless clean despite the kind of raffle that runs through it, and it always smells of roses. The owner is a rather odd man who goes by the name of Five-Finger Lenny. The tavern sells the finest ale in town and it is said that the owner offers plenty of other… Darker services in the back. One thing for sure is that anyone who causes a mess is known to wake up the next day missing a finger, or even much more than that. The owner has a bloody hatred for the owner of the Drunken Donkey. It’s said that they were twins who grew up having violently opposing ideologies about the importance of cleanliness.
Enchanted Enhancements
Vex Mora's most infamous blacksmith. Meet Hesker. Hesker has the wares you need. (HA). For a massive price, this creepy old man can make you just about any melee weapon of choice...with just about any enchantment. They may not be unbreakable, but they can definitely be brutal.
