Aliera Nightcoin, more commonly known as Madame Nightcoin, heads the third faction that controls Ordotown. It might be polite to refer to her associates as ‘businessmen.’ In reality, it would be more honest to describe them as smugglers, whoremasters, slavers and pirates.

Nightcoin operates the only tavern in Ordotown. It’s a modest affair, offering cheap booze and a trio of worn-out whores for purchase. The best thing that can be said about the establishment is that at least the whores are clean and the booze isn’t watered down too much.

There are rumors that Madame Nightcoin used to work for the Veil, or the Black Glove. Supposedly, she double-crossed both organizations, making off with an enormous fortune that she has hid and that she’ll retrieve at some point in the future.  Given her apparent age, some people wonder how much future the old gnome could have left?

Madame Nightcoin could probably take over Ordotown if she wanted.  She and her associates control the pipeline of material resources that keep the place going. They could probably starve the other factions into obedience, but its unlikely they’d be able to retain power for long.
In any event, Madame Nightcoin isn’t interested in running Ordotown. If the rumors are true, she’s just biding her time, until her former associates stop looking for her.
