The Broken Tankard

Built from the timbers of an old watchtower after the last border skirmish, The Broken Tankard opened a decade ago to serve road-weary traders. It earned its name after a tavern brawl sent the proprietor's prized brass tankard flying into the hearth — the broken piece was nailed above the bar in defiance. Over the years the tavern became a crossroads for caravans, low-level adventurers, and the occasional magistrate trying to keep the peace.

History

Built from the timbers of an old watchtower after the last border skirmish, The Broken Tankard opened a decade ago to serve road-weary traders. It earned its name after a tavern brawl sent the proprietor's prized brass tankard flying into the hearth — the broken piece was nailed above the bar in defiance. Over the years the tavern became a crossroads for caravans, low-level adventurers, and the occasional magistrate trying to keep the peace.

Quirks

Marta cracks a small wooden tankard pendant after a good sale; the chipped tankard hanging behind the bar is always turned to face the door; patrons often settle disputes by seeing who can tell the crudest tall tale.

Lore

Locals say the tavern is blessed by a minor, forgotten deity of roads and safe returns; travelers who rub the nose of the carved boar on the bar's post are rumored to avoid bad luck for a day. A whispered tale claims one of the tankard's shards was once used to cut a ransom rope—the story pops up whenever a newcomer shows an unusual knife.
