The Sooty Griffin

The Sooty Griffin began as a crossroads post for drovers and trappers twenty years ago. Marta's family bought it ten years ago after Marta returned from a brief life on the road; she renamed it and built the stable post and private booths to cater to mercenaries and couriers. Over time it became a favored waypoint for new adventurers and local contractors seeking inexpensive muscle.

History

The Sooty Griffin began as a crossroads post for drovers and trappers twenty years ago. Marta's family bought it ten years ago after Marta returned from a brief life on the road; she renamed it and built the stable post and private booths to cater to mercenaries and couriers. Over time it became a favored waypoint for new adventurers and local contractors seeking inexpensive muscle.

Quirks

The serving mugs are stamped with tiny griffin marks; patrons often flip a coin into the hearth when wishing for luck. Marta keeps a stray grey cat that curls on the maps and will nudge coins off the table if it thinks you’re about to spend too little on a tip.

Lore

Local storytellers claim the tavern stands on a patched-together boundary between two old hamlets; beneath the hearth stones is said to lie the 'first coin'—a copper minted when the bridge nearby was first tolled. Some believe the griffin mark stamped on mugs is an old guild sign used by traveling guides; others say it simply marks where Marta once warded the door with a scent to keep blights away. Either way, many who pass through find the Sooty Griffin a good place to begin a life of small adventures.
