The Four-Way Flagon

Overview

Built fifty years ago at the exact point where the kingdom's four major trade routes meet, it has survived three border skirmishes and a flood.

The furniture is famously mismatched because Barnaby often accepts high-quality chairs or tables as payment from cash-strapped travelers.
