Description
As you first walk into the building, you find yourself in the tavern, more often than not staffed by Edwin McCormick. Be sure to say hello. Here you can take a stool and order up a fresh mug of our finest collection of worldly ales, liquors, and brews. We famously house our own private labels --- Pandora's Perfect Pinot Noir (Red Wine) and Lair's Red Mist (Red Wine Spritzer). We also are surely to stock some of the land's best known labels such as Olympus Rum and Aegis Brandy. Some of our lesser known items on the menu hail from a collection crafted by our half-breeds skilled in Mixology... but that's a secret you would never know. Many come on Thursday evenings from far and away places to enjoy their time at the Brew.

1st Floor: Merchant Booths & Workrooms
When you first come upon the Trade Center, the foyer of the building is an open foorplan with Merchant Booths that are available for rent during our famous Market Day, which occurs twice a month. Behind this foyer, are the workrooms for blacksmiths, tailors, carpenters, and also features an alchemy lab.
2nd Floor: Merchant Offices & Public Restroom
The floor houses the office of the Trade and Commerce Commission of Umbra along with a public bathroom free to use for all visitors and merchants.
3rd Floor: Merchant Lounge
Should any of our merchants need a break from their long day, the lounge offers a place to sit and have lunch. It features a full kitchen with a dinning area.
4th Floor: Rooftop Lounge
The rooftop lounge is one of our favorite places to relax and have more private conversations. You and your beloved can sit under the stars in a much more intimate setting.

Neighboorhood
The Bloody Brew is located in the heart of our player-ran city, Vamp's Lair, a player-ran city owned and operated by the Children of Darkness guild. It is building number 6 in our overhead diagram to the right. The other buildings surrounding the Brew, as its affectionately called, are: The Court of Souls, The Encyclopedia of Old Works, The Vampire Lounge, The Church of the Sun, the Resting Souls, and the guild's headquarters, The Dark Tower. Vamp's Lair is conviniently located in the abandoned orc fort just east of the Malas Mountain Pass, a short distance from the city of Umbra.
History
The Bloody Brew Tavern was erected on July 16th, 2010 (a resurrection from the previously known tavern in Felucca that had been erected on December 20th, 1997 in the Vamp's Lair city of Felucca). We named the tavern in honor of one of our members, Pleb --- who hails from the U.K. --- and we make him say "Bloody Hell" in Ventrilo; a small price to pay (hehe). The original tavern was on the first floor of our Vamp's Lair "castle mall" in East Britain on Felucca, before Trammel ever existed, so it did not have its own name, it was just part of the castle. The Children of Darkness resettled in Sosaria (after an 8 year hiatus, playing other MMO's) on January 2010 and worked on acquiring the land to rebuild their famed city, once again. Finally the tavern could have its own building, thus would have its own name.
Days of Operation
Thursdays, 9 PM to 11 PM EST --- Open to all RP'ers of the shard serving a wide variety of imported liquors as well as Olympus Rum, Aegis Brandy, and our own private labels --- Pandora's Perfect Pinot Noir and Lair's Red Mist. Vampires can order speciality brews, mixed by our half-breeds with their talent "Mixology", that contain a variety of blood pathogens from different sources --- from dark elves to the rare AB- typed blood imported from Earth.
Staff
Edwin McCormick is the resident barkeep. He is friendly, yet quiet. A good listener. He has been with the coven for a few years now, having been born in the city of Umbra and made a vampire with the destruction and befallment of that city. He is grateful to the leaders of the Children for helping to re-build his home town and the teachings that they have provided those that were abruptly turned. He maintains the bar open the other nights of the week for any would-be traveller. He employs the other staff members.
Aliana Sudhiir is the latest addition to the tavern. She is an elven vampire, made a night child over 400 years ago prior to the return of the coven to the land of Sosaria. She has an affinity for exotic wines and liquors. As such, through the years she has accustomed her vampiric body to the drinks of mortals.
Masquearade
All of our vampires, half-breeds, and lycans are under the complete facade of the masquerade (hidden from true view). No player can "sense" or otherwise absolutely know for certain that we are downworlders, unless shown to be so.
