I believe mbncd is refering to the building nearby Maelvan's gate. It was actually across the way behind a locked gate with a gavel on a placard over the door.

Also, to touch on the shepard talk, not only did it have the unused guildhall in owl's nest, but the npc in Hawker's alley who sold the weathered DOL equipment made mention to selling gear for shepards. (tho he didnt actually sell said gear)
