Description

Nestled in a back alley of the slums, The Raven's Den is a dim, cluttered hideaway whose walls seem to breathe, flickering with a sickly yellow glow from flickering lamps and the faint glow of an illicit roulette wheel. patrons whisper of strange losses and unseen watchers, their faces gaunt with fear or greed.
