The tavern’s pennants are more than decoration: each represents a chapter in the city’s recent conflicts. Whispered among travelers is the idea that the Bannered Mare once hosted a parley that stalled an uprising — Jane negotiated the terms while unseen, and the signature cup from that night still rests behind the bar. The Jackal’s rise is recent, but the Oathbreaker paladin’s name appears in older, darker entries in Jane’s private ledger. Some say the oathbreaker fell after a betrayal in a war now spoken of only in ruins; others claim his fall was the result of a curse placed by a rival order. Jane’s knowledge ties these threads together, but she reveals pieces only when she trusts the party.
