Quirks

At dusk, the tavern’s amber lanterns are dimmed except for a single flickering candle that patrons swear dances without wind. Regulars claim it is the tavern’s namesake gryphon’s spirit watching over the hall.

Lore

The gryphon emblem above the door is said to represent a guardian spirit watching over the tavern and its patrons. Locals say that in times of dire need, the spirit manifests as a spectral gryphon, guiding lost travelers to safety or warding off shadowy threats lurking nearby. Some adventurers swear they've seen glowing, gryphon-shaped lights on stormy nights, though skeptics attribute it to common tricks of fire and fog.
