Quirks

The tavern’s wooden floorboards creak in a rhythmic pattern almost like a heartbeat, said to synchronize with the nearby ancient forest. Patrons sometimes swear they can hear faint whispers from the trees outside.

Lore

Local legend holds that the twisted oak which lends its name and shelter to the tavern is a guardian spirit that protects the building and its patrons. At times, a soft glow is said to emanate from the tree’s knotty bark during the full moon, warding off evil creatures that roam the borderlands between civilization and the untamed forest.
