Places to Stay - Most well-to-do merchants stay at the Silver Pony which has a fine reputation particularly with dwarves. The Nag Bag is less pleasant, but is conveniently located to wait for the ferry over the Falcon.

Law and Order:
Harse is a widely spread community and so is not walled. Neither does it have a standing defence force. The Sable Company have a base at Crystalrock Fort and patrols the local area. A travelling Arbiter comes to the village for a couple of days every month to handle disputes. Minor crimes are dealt with by the mayor and a jury of local people, people accused of more serious crimes are sent back to Korvosa.
