The Drake's Head

The Drake's Head was built where a cramped tannery once stood. The tannery was cleared after a fire ruined its vats and left the surrounding ground too foul for ordinary housing. Years later, during a fight between a young adventuring company and a winged drake, the creature crashed through the roof. Its severed head landed on the bar, smashing three cups and one tax ledger. Outsiders claim the inn was named because the owner slew the beast. The truth is less heroic: a passing city guardsman dealt the final blow after the adventurers had already trapped it in the rafters. The head was mounted above the hearth, and the name stayed.

History

The Drake's Head was built where a cramped tannery once stood. The tannery was cleared after a fire ruined its vats and left the surrounding ground too foul for ordinary housing. Years later, during a fight between a young adventuring company and a winged drake, the creature crashed through the roof. Its severed head landed on the bar, smashing three cups and one tax ledger. Outsiders claim the inn was named because the owner slew the beast. The truth is less heroic: a passing city guardsman dealt the final blow after the adventurers had already trapped it in the rafters. The head was mounted above the hearth, and the name stayed.

Quirks

Every guest who stays the night must add one line to the tavern's battered travel ledger. The innkeeper claims this is for security, but the older entries contain useful rumors, sketches of ruins, warnings about monsters, and occasional confessions. The mounted drake's jaw is fitted with a spring, and it snaps shut whenever someone lies about having paid for a drink. This is a mechanical prank, not magic, though the staff insist otherwise. On rainy evenings, all patrons are expected to place muddy boots beneath the same bench so the floor can be swept efficiently.

Lore

The tavern is a practical starting point for new adventurers. Its clientele includes caravan guards, freelance explorers, hedge mages, local hunters, and retired delvers who know the difference between a dangerous ruin and an overpriced hole in the ground. The mounted drake skull is not magical, though its left horn has been replaced with an iron one after the original was sold to a curious wizard. The proprietor keeps a quiet policy of sheltering travelers who are being harassed by common criminals, but refuses to hide murderers, slavers, or anyone who brings a feud through the front door.
