GethimGethim is the owner of the Black Jug tavern in the Bard's Quarter, one of the seedier establishments in all of Balic. It has a well deserved reputation for violent fights breaking out, and for goods and services that can be found nowhere else in the city. In Andropinis ruled Balic, Gethim was a high ranking templar in the service of the sorcerer king. It was a position of power, a power that the templar enjoyed flaunting. Businessmen learned quickly that the best way to avoid an unpleasant search of their premises was to give Gethim a gift, a thank you for "his service and dedication to the city of Balic." Those who obeyed were left alone, at least until the templar required another thank you gift. After the disappearance of the sorcerer king, House Wavir seized the White Palace. In the battle that followed between former templars and guards of Andropinis and the Wavir soldiers, Gethim found himself on the losing side of that contest. During the battle, he received a nasty wound running from his jaw to his temple. The rest of the battle was a haze, as the retreating soldiers carried him out of the White Palace after their defeat. The wound, ironically, probably saved his life - Gethim's reputation for cruelty was well known, and only through the excess blood on his face was he able to be removed from the Palace unrecognized. The years after the fall of the Palace were hard on many ex-templars, especially Gethim. Without the spells granted by Andropinis, he was unable to command the respect that he had earlier. And the merchants that he had so easily bullied were now looking for him, to receive their own thank you gifts from him. He found that the only safe place was the Bard's Quarter, an area he rarely entered in his service to the sorcerer king. Though he certainly was not among the elite rogues in the city, he became a "respected" member of the underground community. Though fallen from his high position, he still had considerable amounts of ceramics from his many extorsions. With it, he bought The Black Jug from a half-elf eager to sell. (It seems the half-elf was blamed when a certain regular customer was implicated in a murder, and snitches are not well looked upon in the Bard's Quarter.) Gethim was able to purchase the tavern for a very fair price. Gethim is still very bitter about the fall of Andropinis. He remembers the heady days of his power and would do anything to get back to that point. He harbors an intense hatred of the Wavirs, and happily provides free drinks to those who harm House Wavir in some way. His patrons respect his angry, bitter nature, and the fact that he lets them do business in his establishment. His is the most popular tavern in the Bard's Quarter, and if anyone is looking for good or service that is, perhaps, not quite above the table, The Black Jug is the place to go.
