**For over thirty-five years, Henry O’Donald’s Tavern has stood at the very center of Sanctum City, in many ways.
Back when there were other cities, when it was a respectable, good world without threat of the Duke taking everything over, Henry’s was a place for the miners and the scientists to come and relax with a beer or a girl; both were plentiful. Later, when things began to seem more desperate, it became the rallying point for the theoretical opposition to any Ducal invasion. And when it became clear that none was ever going to come, it became the place for those still left to pass their time.
All three functions were dreadfully important at their times, and the last was particularly important today, as the last competitor, Nelson’s Bar, closed down last August. The raucous, baudy bar, though not regarded as a family destination, was far and above the most visited place in Sanctum City, and Henry the most beloved person.**

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Hanjo strolled in, and came up to the bar. He'd been traveling a way with his suitcase, and was beat. He layed his suitcase next to the bar stool, sat on it, and said, "Pour me a cold one. A reliever, if ya got any."

Turning to Harold.
Henry - "I'll be back in a quick lick!"
He heads over towards the new customer grabbing a Reliever along the way.
Henry - "Will that be everything for ya?"
