*GATHERING POINTS* 
Talan Seneda's Auction House
At the auction house veteran characters and private auctioneer groups sell the various uncommon, rare and unique items they've gathered to the highest bidder. Auctions usually aren't regularly scheduled but are normally announced in the game forums ahead of time. Occasionally the gm's will host event auctions too, though they are rare. Still, if you hear of an upcoming auction I recommend attending. As a new character you likely won't be able to do more than gawk at the outrageously high priced items being auctioned (50 talent gladius, 150 talent helmets, etc.), but there's almost always a tidy-sized batch of affordable common-place items for sale at very reasonable prices. You can expect to see black sagums, cineran military boots and other uncommon, though not necessarily rare, items. Items such as these are normally marked way down alongside the real money-making items and make a nice compliment to your newbie-gear.
Directions: From the Vet mark twice southwest, once west, twice southwest, once north. (Walk to Vet, SWx2, W, SWx2, N)

The Gambling House (Combi and Gusequs)

discard <individual card by name | cards> e.g., discard IV of Wine -or- discard cards
restore <deck> returns all outstanding cards to the deck (supposedly no matter where the are, even if the person you dealt to is now in another town)

*TAVERNS AND INNS* 
The Gilded Cage (Septima)
Commonly known as "Septima's", the Gilded Cage sees a lot of business as much for it's fetching bartender/owner as for the fact that the plank trapdoor in the southwest corner leads directly into the Thug Alleys. Be nice to Septima fellows, Vino was a regular patron.
