Houndstooth Inn

The Houndstooth Inn was built nearly half a century ago as a meeting place for the bustling dock workers of the city. Originally a quiet alehouse, it grew rowdier and grander with the rise of trade between the Ironshore Isles and the mainland, becoming renowned for its brawls, gambling shadows, and a clientele as varied and unpredictable as the sea itself. Branna Saltmarrow acquired it ten years ago, turning the Houndstooth from a rough pit into an organized den of revelry and secrets.

History

The Houndstooth Inn was built nearly half a century ago as a meeting place for the bustling dock workers of the city. Originally a quiet alehouse, it grew rowdier and grander with the rise of trade between the Ironshore Isles and the mainland, becoming renowned for its brawls, gambling shadows, and a clientele as varied and unpredictable as the sea itself. Branna Saltmarrow acquired it ten years ago, turning the Houndstooth from a rough pit into an organized den of revelry and secrets.

Quirks

Every night at midnight the tavern erupts into a chaotic drinking contest known as the 'Houndstooth Howl' where the loudest drinker gains notoriety and a free night's stay. The tavern’s mastiff, a gigantic brindle dog named Old Snarl, roams the hallways keeping order but occasionally steals unattended food or unsettled coin purses.

Lore

According to local sailors, the tavern is named after a mythical sea hound said to guard lost treasures in the nearby waves — a creature spotted just once each decade, its pattern like the intricate woven fabric of houndstooth. Some believe the tavern’s mastiff, Old Snarl, is a descendant of that very beast, blessing the inn with protection from darker forces hidden beneath the docks.
