The Dusty Den

✦

Your new home base. Members and allies can meet at our small bar in Ul'dah for a drink, a conversation, or a quiet word with the right people. Whether you are here to plan, unwind, or simply be among your own, the doors are open. It is not an event. It is an RP hub, for everyone to use.

If you can find the door, you are welcome through it.

📍 In Character

Desert Alley, between Pearl Lane and Sapphire Avenue Exchange, Ul'dah.

📍 Out of Character

The Sultana's Breath · Wing 1, Room #72 · 26th Ward, The Goblet | Mateus

A hub for walk-in RP, pre-session meetups, and downtime scenes. Job postings, rumors, and Sand Court business on the board. A place to connect before and after campaign sessions. No appointment needed. No questions asked. Pull up a chair and order something strong.

Light Plates

Small bites and starters

Giant Popoto Pancakes60 gil

Thanalan popotoes mashed and mixed with eggs from the aldgoat farms near Halatali, then cooked flat over an open flame. Light, fluffy, and filling enough for the price.

Tomato Salad45 gil

Bright tomatoes from the irrigated plots of Central Thanalan, lightly tossed in oil pressed from desert perilla seeds. Simple, clean, and meant to be eaten before the heat takes it.

Baked Eggplant70 gil

Desert-grown eggplants roasted until tender, topped with sliced vegetables from the Thanalan plains and a generous coating of melted cheese traded through Sapphire Avenue.

Pineapple Orange Jelly40 gil

Made from Thanalan pineapples and navel oranges, set cold and served in clay cups. Refreshing enough to remind you of the good parts of Thanalan while you sit through the rest.

Main Plates

Cooked over fire, served without ceremony

Spaghetti Carbonara85 gil

Wheat noodles from the Thanalan trade routes, slathered in a rich sauce of egg yolks and pungent cheese aged in the cellars beneath the Steps of Nald. Heavy and worth it.

Chicken Pasta80 gil

Hearty pasta topped with finely chopped dodo chicken raised on the Thanalan plains and melted cheese from the caravan stocks. Simple and filling.

Tacos de Carne Asada90 gil

Warm flour tortillas stuffed with slices of rroneek chuck marinated in Thanalan spices and grilled to a smoky char over desert thornwood coals. Best eaten with your hands.

Roast Rroneek95 gil

Thin slices of rroneek chuck from the Central Thanalan herds, seasoned with desert salt and slow-roasted for hours over low heat until the meat falls apart on its own terms.

All i Pebre100 gil

Bite-sized pieces of eel pulled from the Thanalan underground waterways and popoto from the plains, stewed slow in a spiced sauce of Thanalan paprika and garlic. Rich and sharp.

Moqueca110 gil

A creamy, spiced stew made with fish traded through the Ul'dah markets, simmered in coconut milk and Thanalan peppers. The recipe came through the southern trade routes and stayed because it earned its place.

Fresh Juices

Squeezed in house from Thanalan fruit

Orange Juice30 gil

Freshly squeezed from navel oranges grown in the sunbaked groves of Eastern Thanalan. Sweet, tart, and cold if you catch it early enough.

Apple Juice30 gil

Pressed from mirror apples traded through the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Crisp and clean, which is more than can be said for most things in Ul'dah.

Pineapple Juice35 gil

Sun-ripened prickly pineapples from the upper Thanalan plateaus, juiced and served cold. Sharp enough to wake you up without the headache.

Cherimoya Juice40 gil

A thick, creamy blend made from desert-grown cherimoya. Rich in vitamins, surprisingly smooth, and favored by those who spend long hours under Thanalan sun.

Melon Juice35 gil

Squeezed from thundermelons harvested in the Thanalan lowlands after the rains. Dangerously refreshing. People have been known to order three before sitting down.

Lemonade30 gil

Sour lemonette juice from the Thanalan hillside groves, sweetened with golden honey harvested near the Halatali ruins. Simple and effective.

Tea & Warm Drinks

Brewed slow, served strong

Chamomile Tea25 gil

Brewed from tiny yellow chamomile flowers picked in the Thanalan lowlands at dawn. Fragrant, calming, and a good thing to hold when you have nothing else to do with your hands.

Ishgardian Tea45 gil

Coerthan tea leaves steeped in boiled yak milk, prepared the highland way. Imported at cost and served to anyone who wants something heavier than desert water. An acquired taste.

Rooibos Tea30 gil

A mellow herbal infusion from red-leafed shrubs that grow on the Thanalan plateau edges. Naturally sweet, no honey needed. Good for long nights.

Matcha50 gil

Fine-ground tea leaves whisked into hot water, imported from Hingashi through the Ul'dah trade routes. Bitter, precise, and the kind of thing someone either orders every time or never.

Masala Chai40 gil

Coerthan tea leaves boiled with Eastern Thanalan cinnamon and amber cloves from the trade caravans. Sweet, aromatic, and strong enough to cut through the dust.

Spiced Cider40 gil

Warmed apple juice mulled with Thanalan ginger, cloves from the caravan runs, and a stick of Eastern Thanalan cinnamon. Served hot and best on cold desert nights.

Hot Chocolate45 gil

Made from cocoa traded through the Sapphire Avenue, sweetened with Thanalan honey. A luxury the upper city takes for granted and the lower city appreciates properly.

Creamy Hot Chocolate55 gil

The same cocoa brew, topped with whipped cream skimmed from aldgoat milk. Richer than anything in the lower city has a right to be. We charge accordingly.

Coffee

For those who need to stay awake

Cinnamon Cream Coffee45 gil

Dark-roasted beans ground fresh, brewed strong, finished with Eastern Thanalan cinnamon and a layer of cream. Bittersweet with an aroma that carries across the room.

Liquor

No questions asked about quantity

Sour Red50 gil

Vinegary wine from lowland grapes grown on the arid soil of Southern Thanalan. More suited to forgetting your evening than savoring it, but it does the job and costs less than dignity.

Cactus Piss35 gil

Brewed from sabotender fruit by Thanalan aldgoat herders to help them forget the fact that they are aldgoat herders. The name is honest. The taste is worse. The price is right.

Location & Access ✦ The Sand Court

Finding the Den

✦

The Dusty Den sits in Desert Alley, a narrow passage between Pearl Lane and the Sapphire Avenue Exchange in the lower levels of Ul'dah. The alley runs through the working district where most of the city's commerce happens outside the scrutiny of the Syndicate's preferred vendors. It is not a place people wander into by accident, and the people who do find it tend to know what they are looking for.

The bar itself is small. A counter, a handful of tables, a board near the back wall where jobs and rumors get pinned when someone has something worth sharing. The drinks are honest, the food is Thanalan, and the door stays unlocked for anyone the Sand Court considers welcome. If you have been pointed here, someone already decided you belong.

Out of character, the venue is located in The Goblet on the Mateus server. The address is listed below, along with sync codes if you want to load the venue design directly.

📍 In Character
