Satrioli's Sausage Shop is a thriving business that offers a wide selection of sausages, cured meats, imported cheeses, and other delicacies to the workers of Ubersreik's Artisan's District. It occupies the ground floor of a stone building; the wooden storey above is rented out by the large family of Halflings who help the Satriolis cope with their rapidly expanding customer-base. Beneath the shop, there is a sizeable cellar used as a storeroom; it also has a shrine to Myrmidia, a goddess worshipped widely in the south of the Old World. There are a number of tables and benches outside the shop, but many customers take their food away to eat at home or in their place of work.[1a]
Gino Satrioli is a charming Tilean with dark hair, a ready grin, and no trace of his foreign accent. He tends the shop with his wife Carla, a woman known locally for her exotic beauty, and their son Furio, a boy of uncommon intelligence. They employ a gaggle of Halflings to assist with day-to-day tasks, and the small folk can be found scurrying about the shop at all hours.[1a]
There are rumours that many of the sausages are in fact made by the Halflings, and not by the Satriolis, but given the diminutive folk's reputation for culinary skill, nobody is complaining.[1a]
Satrioli's is a front for the infamous Lowhaven Clan of Halflings. This notorious family has operations in Altdorf and throughout the Vorbergland. Satrioli's is their main base in Ubersreik. While the Tileans tend the shop, behind the scenes a bevy of Halfling bullies exert their malign influence. Under the leadership of Mercy Lowhaven, they are muscling in on the other organised crime in town. They are always on the lookout for more help. Their standard operating procedure is to get someone in debt, before exploiting that weakness.[1a]
White Gold[]
'White Gold' is the most profitable product in Satrioli's, a particularly creamy cheese imported from Tilea. Recently, their supplier has signed an exclusive contract with Harzert's, a rival cheesemonger. Mercy Lowhaven is willing to pay handsomely for Harzert's supply, and won't ask any questions. Securing the contract for Satrioli's would earn a favour from the Lowhavens.[1a]
