The Salt & Scale

Overview

History

The Salt & Scale was constructed nearly fifty years ago using the repurposed hull and ribs of 'The Leviathan's Grasp', a notorious pirate flagship captured during the early days of the Stormguard's formation. It has served as a sanctuary for sailors ever since.

Quirks

The entire tavern is built on a slight, intentional tilt to make it feel like a ship on the water. Additionally, whenever a new barrel of grog is tapped, the tavernkeeper rings a ship's bell and every patron must toast to 'the monsters below' or face a round of jeers.

What locals say
