What does the fan-on-the-street expect to see in a place devoted to hard-rock mining? Well, if he's a sci-fi sort, he expects guys in spacesuits with laser drills. But if he's a fantasy fan, he expects ... dwarves. And as every good fan knows, All Dwarves Are Vikings. Thus was born the concept of the First Viking Mead-Hall In Space, after a deadpan comment from Rei teased Chris on the "Viking Dwarves" one too many times. It's possibly the only place in Fenspace where you can go to be served beer and beef by burly bearded men in chainmail (even if they do stand eye-to-eye with a Dalek). The food is high quality without being haute cuisine, and runs heavily to beef products with a leavening of fish and a special vegetarian menu for Rei. Clientèle ranges from miners spending their bonuses to business guests in from 'Daneside to random wandering Fen.

When asked about Valkyries, Marsden replied that he only hires Elves for that position. (Two weeks later, the first waitress appeared at the restaurant. So far, Marsden has held good to his promise.)

At least the elves and dwarves have someplace to get an entry-level job...

M Fnord Wrote:It is the intent of the OP that, for purposes of this story fork, neither Shadowrun nor Earthdawn exist as RPGs within the shared cultural context of the Fenspace universe. This is primarily to knock out any future fourth wall-breaking shenanigans; we can do those to our heart's content in South Is Rising, no need to be all wink-and-nod in everything, y'know?
