Zebulons Saloon

Zebulon's Saloon sits on the east side of Shiftless, a popular drinking hall built from rough-hewn boards gone gray with dust and age. A creaking sign over the entrance bears the name "ZEBULON'S" in faded red paint.

Most evenings, the place hums with life: drovers fresh off the trail, gamblers passing through, and the occasional drifter testing their luck. The air inside is thick with smoke, laughter, and the sharp clatter of cards and coin. The saloon has no rooms and no pretensions — just a long plank bar, a few scarred tables, and a piano in the corner whose keys stick and sigh, coaxed to life by whoever's sober enough to play. The floorboards are worn smooth by boots, and the smell of whiskey, sweat, and cigar smoke never quite leaves.

The proprietor, Zackariah Zebulon, is a tall, sharp-eyed man with a silver watch chain and a gambler's grin. He claims he's seen fortunes made and lost across his tables, and he’s usually right there to deal the next hand. Though he rarely raises his voice, there's an iron rule in Zebulon's — no fighting at the tables, and no credit on the whiskey.
