==='''Heroch's Cantina'''===

[[File:Heroch's Cantina.jpg]]

Heroch? Really?...So this card popped up and I had to go talk to Dworkin about it.  I mean really, Gramps, Heroch's Cantina?  Young children might read this! 

Ok, so lets start with Heroch.  He's an [[Ushfa]]. He won't say who was the first creature he mimicked or what form he was born as, and in the end, it doesn't really matter.  He has grown beyond his birth.  He's a sigil lord of the [[Mal at Riess]].  He holds a Broken Pattern Imprint and I suspect a Sigil of Azcala. He is a serious character and a known battle-mage.  However he is also personable, reliable, and kinky as a pile of pickup sticks. 

The cantina is in the city of Azanam. Its island in one of the archipelago of this watery world of Anazala, a Realm of the [[Azcala]] Sway.  Not specifically within the locked system but close enough to be within walking distance, or invading distance, to it. 

The Cantina itself is a tricky place.  First off if you drive past it in the daytime it looks like a unmarked shuttered up restaurant in a beachside town.  A hotel is across the road and it has residents there who have been paying by the night for decades.The beach is a few hundred feet from the place and there is a lot of open land between the Cantina and the water.  A few taco shops, junk shops, gas stations, and local hovels are nearby as well.   The vast parking lot is speckled with rust pillars and charging stations and gas pumps.

But oh the night.
At night the place comes alive.  The clientèle are not local.  The parking lot fills with cars of a thousand worlds and there is plenty of room nearby for spacecraft and other bizarre ships sailing in from Shadow.  Heroch's one rule about parking is that the parking lot must be empty at dawn. 

The party is diverse, perverse, and payment is made in advance.  
Heroch has a rule; "Everyone Pays.  Everyone Plays. The only Title beyond the door is Proprietor." 
He isn't kidding. Ive seen Golden Circle queens strapped down for abuse.  Ive seen Chaos lords dancing on marionette strings.  There are dignitaries and the unashamed from thousands of realms here from time to time.   

Moderation is for monks, but here the monks are deep in the mix as well. 

It has dance space, bars, wild drinks, and crazy activities.  Ive long thought it cast shadows of wild parties.  As you might guess, ive spent a lot of time here over the years.  

<span style=color:darkgreen>Addendum 

<span style=color:darkgreen>At the time this card popped up there were only 3 ways into the locked system of the Sigil of [[Azcala]].  None easy to manage.  Plopping a Trump to a place in a closely adjacent Shade of [[Azcala]] is extremely provocative.  There does not currently exist a state of war between Amber and Azcala but they have made it clear they want one.  This card, in my opinion, is someone telling Azcala that we can arrive anyplace.  But don't worry, a melee at Heroch's would be redundant.
