The mid-sized door easily swung open at Shandara's touch, allowing access to the Xlotl's Nest. A large open room stretched out before her, with a large bar occupying the opposite wall. The room itself is filled with tables of many different sizes and heights, and a section of the room is split in two horizontally by a second floor, leaving two sections with a ceiling that would be uncomfortably low for the average human, but is just fine for a dwarf, gnome or halfling.

Or for that matter, the small party of goblins occupying a second-floor table there. The other unusual things is the extreme diversity of people occupying the bar. Though there are a few dwarfs, humans, half-elves and the like, most of the beings occupying the Nest are far more unusual. A party of Goliaths are sitting at the bar itself, on large stools clearly made for their large frames. A small party consisting of a variety of planetouched (a tiefling, an Aasimar and three that clearly have some elemental ancestry) are having a toast at a table near the entrance, while a group of human-sized creature's with fins and gills clad in the garb of sailors seem to be celebrating a party of in another corner. Even the representatives of the races commonly seen in the city tend to have slightly exotic features or unusual tattoos, suggesting they might be members of tribes from the far-flung corners of the empire, or even beyond.

In this mixed company, Shandara, whose appearance would normally attract at least some curiosity, barely gets a second glance. If anything, Bolten attracts more curiosity.
