This is the second entry for #dungeon23. I haven’t technically started on the megadungeon yet as I will begin releasing rooms within the airship starting on the first of January. For the time being, I’m laying some foundations. Panad is potential starting location for players about to board the GLS Anghymodlon. These entries aren’t meant to be fleshed out, but whatever I can manage in a day.
The Panad Cafe is a lovely two-storey building. It sits along a row of terraced commercial buildings overlooking Caer Isel’s harbour where the GLS Anghymodlon is currently moored, ready for its much anticipated take off and international flight. It is lavishly decorated with brass and copper fittings, clockwork gears and a touch of the old. The foundations of the Panad date back to the city’s medieval period.
Much of the wall facing the harbour has been replaced with large window panes offering stunning views of the bay and harbour below. Much of it is currently obscured and in the shadow of the giant, 12-deck airship.
The Menu offers variety of teas, as well as traditional Iselian dishes such as Isel cakes and cawl (a hearty stew made with lamb or beef). The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, with soft lighting and a warm, homely feel. It is a delightful and unique place to drink tea and take in the surroundings.

Manager: Heulwen Esau Wait Staff: Gwynedd Griffith, Siana Baughn, Ithel Bethell, Gwallter Pewitt
Heulwen Esau Their name means sunshine and she is exactly that. They run a tight ship.
Ithel Bethell Ithel is near retirement age and has worked in the cafe long before it was called Panad, from the age of 16. They are a marvellous host and hasn’t let age slow her down one bit.
Gwynedd Griffith Cheery and pleasant, Gwynedd is a student at the university working part-time to cover living costs in the expensive city.
Siana Baughn Well travelled and well read, Siana works at the cafe to fund their worldwide travelling. They missed the opportunity to ride on the GLS Anghymodlon this time but they are hoping to get a ticket the next time it’s docked at Caer Isel.
Gwallter Pewitt A former butler, Gwallter takes tea very seriously.
