Local legend says the dripping rooster sign is enchanted by a sylvan guardian who pledged to keep the tavern safe from flame and ruin. On stormy nights, patrons claim they can hear faint roosters’ crowing echo through the nearby woods, a protective call from unseen spirits. The inn’s cellar is rumored to conceal old smuggling tunnels connected to a forgotten thieves' guild that once operated in the area, though no one dares explore them anymore.
