About the Tavern of the Rising Sun
This question has just been nagging at me. Well... I looked at the stickies to see if they explain why this subsection is called the Tavern of "the Rising Sun" but I didn't find anything.
The instant I read this subsection name I was confused. Does anybody know why this subsection is named after the Japanese Empire from WWII? Is it just coincidence?

First of all, The Land Of The Rising Sun refers to Japan in general.
Second, I was always leaning towards the House Of The Rising Sun refference.

Well, "House of the Rising Sun" is a song in which a guy (or chick in some folk versions) tells his(her) story, so I guess that might explain it

You can't possibly be talking about Japan are you? Women here are not of "negotiable affection" they are downright not pretty oO. They've got style but they are not an eyecandy. Oh and if find one they are beyond "negotiable" they are simply stuuuuuning . Me likey! But yeah lol you find one every... lets see... every 2~3 month ?

So here are the possiblities:
1) Because this place has ninjas
2) Because this place has women of negotiable affection
3) Because this place is a secret hangout for supporters of the 1940s Japanese Empire.
4) Just because.

It's from Diablo if I remember correctly. You started off at the Tavern of the Rising Sun also known as the Tristram Inn.

I feel like such a geek now. It's been about five years since I played that game and I actually remember that.

So the Blizzard team are undercover Japanese Nationalists?
I feel ashamed that I never played Diablo. I played copious amounts of Starcraft, and copious amounts of Warcraft III, so you would think that I would pick up Diablo, but nope, I never had the incentive. Although that's probably a good thing.
