It was indeed meant for groundlings and plebeians. It also ended up being for people who were a total 180 from those two groups and everyone else in-between, because he was so good that even if his stuff was ostensibly aimed toward a lower brow audience it still resonated with people from all walks of life, which is a huge reason of why his work is revered by everyone except some (supposedly, just ask them) very smart people having inexplicably dumb takes.

>The reason that Fafhrd attached to Bwadres, rather than to any one of a vast number of livelier holy men with better prospects, was that he had seen Bwadres pat a deaf-and-dumb child on the head while (so far as Bwadres could have known) no one was looking and the incident (possibly unique in Lankhmar) had stuck in the mind of the barbarian.
