The Department of Menace Eradication pays hunters of various pests - up to and including snuffers - for their work. But they won't touch creatures that fly. This is evidence that they might be connected to the Presbyterate or other powers on the Elder Continent.
The Medusa's Head Tavern is a popular and especially dangerous tavern, even for Watchmaker's Hill. Bar fights are not uncommon.
The Observatory is inhabited by blind astronomers staring at a non-sky. They were all blinded by sorrow-spiders, and have dealings with spider-councils.
The Gamekeeper's Cottage is the hub of the game of Knife-and-Candle.
