General information about the Elfsong Tavern and Sorcerous Sundries
The above map shows part of the city that contains two locations - Elfsong Tavern and the Sorcerous Sundries building. Visiting them is completely optional, but you shouldn't ignore these locations. In the tavern you can recruit Safana - it is especially recommended if you have no thieves in your party yet. In addition to that, while visiting these locations you can receive new optional quests and finish side quests started in other locations.
Most important places in the Elfsong Tavern and in the Sorcerous Sundries
1. Starting location
You start the exploration of the map on the street. You can immediately go to one of the buildings or first look around. If you have the All the Way to the Bank quest unlocked, then Zelma can accost the main character and steal the gold purse from him. This will change the meeting with Senna who can be found nearby (M4,12).
4. Main tavern's room
Four characters with whom you can talk can be found here. Barman can sell you drinks. Garrick the bard is one of few people selected by Corwin for recruitment but during the meeting you will learn that for now he is only interested in conquering the heart of Alyth. The mentioned "Lady" Alyth Elendara is someone whom you can ask for help for Garachen (the Refuge for the Refugees side quest). If you decide to give her 1000 pieces of gold, you will receive a key to the chest on the first floor (M4,13). However, you can also simply break into the chest with the supplies by using a thief.
Zaviak can be found in a side room. You will find out that he has glasses that allow him to see unnatural creatures. You can receive these glasses from him and after wearing them identify the first such creature in the tavern - the fire elemental Al-Alai whom you must defeat in combat.
7. Coran's and Safana's chamber
Two people selected for recruitment can be found on the floor of the tavern. Coran will not be interested in joining the party, but Safana will happily go with you. It is a good idea to recruit her very early if you have no other thief in your party. This will allow you to find traps and open chests - many of the latter can be found on the first floor of the tavern. In most of them you will find gold.
9. Room on the first floor
In the main room of the Sorcerous Sundries you can speak to Halbazzer Drin and trade with him or receive The Sorcerous Sundries Caper side quest. During that quest you must find the potion bottles on the first floor of the building (M4,11). You must know that finding these potions will trigger a strong group of thieves to appear - it is a good idea to prepare for the battle with them.
In addition to that, Kazzrem the merchant can be found on the ground floor of the building. You can buy some magic clothes from him. In addition to that, he is able to identify items for a price.
