The Boar's Maw

The Boar's Maw began as a coaching stop on a muddy trade road. Ten years ago it changed hands when Mav Coppers, an ex-mercenary, bought the place with coin won in a siege. He rebuilt the hearth and welcomed rougher crowds, turning the Maw into a place where merchants, mercenaries, and trade apprentices meet. The tavern survived a fire and a short occupation by a highway gang. Since then it has been known as the place where grudges are settled, deals are struck, and news travels fast.

History

The Boar's Maw began as a coaching stop on a muddy trade road. Ten years ago it changed hands when Mav Coppers, an ex-mercenary, bought the place with coin won in a siege. He rebuilt the hearth and welcomed rougher crowds, turning the Maw into a place where merchants, mercenaries, and trade apprentices meet. The tavern survived a fire and a short occupation by a highway gang. Since then it has been known as the place where grudges are settled, deals are struck, and news travels fast.

Quirks

The tavern floor creaks in a pattern that regulars use to signal trouble. A ceramic boar head above the hearth snorts steam when the crowd grows too loud. Anyone who wins three back-to-back bets at the gambling nook is given a painted boar token and a free night in a private room, but those who lose three nights in a row will find a small tally carved into their table leg the next morning.

Lore

Locals tell a half-joking tale that the tavern sits on the 'Boar's Hollow', a shallow shaft that once yielded oddly shaped iron stones. Sailors and soldiers swear that the tavern's hearth keeps trouble from settling for long, as if the place itself wants to be noisy. Superstitious types whisper that the original owner's boar sigil was blessed by a road god, which is why travelers always seem to find their way back for one more drink.
