Hound's Tooth Inn

Built three generations ago on the embankment where the city expanded its docks, the Hound's Tooth began as a rowers' tavern and slowly grew into a roadhouse of influence. Shaid Boxmon took over after his last night on the watch: he put an end to a gang that used the inn as a meeting place but left with a taste for running a house where law and vice coexisted. Under Shaid the inn grew famous for its fighting nights, a wink-and-a-nod operation with the city guard that keeps the worst elements at bay while the rest pay for protection.

History

Built three generations ago on the embankment where the city expanded its docks, the Hound's Tooth began as a rowers' tavern and slowly grew into a roadhouse of influence. Shaid Boxmon took over after his last night on the watch: he put an end to a gang that used the inn as a meeting place but left with a taste for running a house where law and vice coexisted. Under Shaid the inn grew famous for its fighting nights, a wink-and-a-nod operation with the city guard that keeps the worst elements at bay while the rest pay for protection.

Quirks

The Hound's Tooth favors rough justice: anyone who breaks tavern rules faces Shaid's 'three strikes' — a public naming, a tab doubled and (if necessary) ejection by bone-cracking bouncers. The tavern keeps a ledger of debts in wax-sealed envelopes; patrons who owe get their names read aloud every third evening.

Lore

Locals say the inn's name comes from a carved hound's tooth nailed above the main door — a charm against drowned sailors and bad luck. Sailors swore it wards off storms, smugglers swear it marks a safe drop, and more than one captain has paid homage to it before a crossing. In the city's underbelly, the Hound's Tooth is considered neutral ground: important deals are struck there because Shaid enforces a brutal, efficient impartiality. Whispered fragments claim that the tooth was once larger and that a piece of it was stolen and traded for one of Shaid's secrets.
