The Breastplate of Myrmidia, sometimes called the Breasts of Myrmidia,[1a][3a] is a tavern on Altdorf's Street of a Hundred Taverns which has long been contested by the gangs known as the Hooks and Fish.[1a][2a]
Once a Hooks-aligned establishment, the Fish gained control of it during the Waterfront War. But following the Great Fog Riots, the Hooks regained control. By 2512 IC, the tavern had a superficially patriotic character reminiscent of the Hooks' alliance with the Dock Watch.[2a] But despite the Hooks' dominance, the tavern is still hotly contested and the site of many fights.[1a][2a]
Its proprietor in 2512 IC was Hilde Flickenschildt, a former Hook who still works as an informant.[2a]
The Breastplate of Myrmidia is also an excellent place to pick up illicit drugs such as dreamweed, powdered lotus,[1a][2a][3a] and a variety of weirdroot called "snakesdung."[2b]
