Quirks

The tavern’s wooden floor creaks under every step, occasionally betraying the presence of a secret trapdoor rumored to lead to abandoned smugglers' tunnels beneath the village.

Lore

Locals whisper that the original owner discovered a vein of rare iron deep in the surrounding hills and fashioned the tavern’s namesake axe from it. They say the axe is picked up once each generation by a chosen patron who will either bring fortune or doom to the tavern’s future. None know for sure—it is a tale often told when the ale flows particularly strong.
