The Gilded Boar

Founded thirty years ago by a butcher who wanted to serve his own cuts, The Gilded Boar grew from a roadside inn into the town's rowdiest tavern under Marta's iron rule. During the War of the Three Crowns it served as a recruiting point and temporary infirmary; many older patrons still bear scars from those days. Under a previous owner the stable was used to smuggle amber to the coastal smugglers; those tunnels were collapsed, but rumors persist of a re-opened route.

History

Founded thirty years ago by a butcher who wanted to serve his own cuts, The Gilded Boar grew from a roadside inn into the town's rowdiest tavern under Marta's iron rule. During the War of the Three Crowns it served as a recruiting point and temporary infirmary; many older patrons still bear scars from those days. Under a previous owner the stable was used to smuggle amber to the coastal smugglers; those tunnels were collapsed, but rumors persist of a re-opened route.

Quirks

The tavern's brass boar head mounted above the hearth is believed to bring luck to gamblers; patrons who rub its tusks before a game seem oddly favored. Brawls are common enough that the staff keeps a set of iron shackles behind the bar — for fines, not charity. The notice board is policed by Marta's second-in-command, a retired spy who erases items she deems too dangerous.

Lore

Locals whisper that the brass boar head was once a hunting trophy from a famed beast slain by a knight-turned-merchant. The knight supposedly hid a small reliquary in the tavern's foundations before disappearing. Superstitious patrons leave salted peanuts and pipe ashes at the hearth to appease the 'boar spirit' and ensure a brawl won't spill supernatural wrath. Scholars say the reliquary might contain a fragment of an old saint's cloak — valuable to collectors and dangerous in the wrong hands.
