Mheshik

As travelers enter Balic through the large west gate, a crowd of people await them. Local boys clamor to offer their services as guides, House representatives await caravans, and vendors hawk goods for those who have made the long journey across the desert. One such vendor is Mheshik, a dealer in local Balican foods.

A unshaven, stout man in his mid forties, Mheshik is found behind his cook cart (a cart that has seen many years of service) where he serves roasted lamb and jeeth with a healthy dose of spices. The odor of this food wafts throughout the area, and his stall never goes long without customers.

Mheshik is friendly and talkative, and he can give customers a brief layout of the city. (Note: customers. He may be friendly, but he is also a businessman.) He knows the basic political situation in the city, but doesn’t follow it too closely. He knows the northern part of the city the best, as this is where he lives – just south of the Bard’s Quarter. If someone is looking for a particular service in that area, legal or otherwise, he can point them in the right direction.
