The Boar & Brazen Keg

Founded when the road through this hamlet first saw regular traffic, the Boar & Brazen Keg has been the town's only tavern for three decades. Mara inherited the lease after her cousin ran off with a traveling troupe; under her the tavern became a stomping ground for local laborers, a distribution point for caravans, and occasionally a drop-off for contraband. There have been a few attempts by nearby merchants to set up rival houses, but the sparse population (ten buildings in town) and Mara's fierce reputation kept the tavern as the solitary social heart.

History

Founded when the road through this hamlet first saw regular traffic, the Boar & Brazen Keg has been the town's only tavern for three decades. Mara inherited the lease after her cousin ran off with a traveling troupe; under her the tavern became a stomping ground for local laborers, a distribution point for caravans, and occasionally a drop-off for contraband. There have been a few attempts by nearby merchants to set up rival houses, but the sparse population (ten buildings in town) and Mara's fierce reputation kept the tavern as the solitary social heart.

Quirks

The tavern's arm of the bar sports a carved boar head with a brass ring in its nose—patrons rub it for luck; coin offerings sometimes disappear (Mara's discreet pocketing). On slow nights, a few regulars start telling an exaggerated, synchronized tale of 'the one that got away' after the third tankard—it's a signal that a brawl might be brewing.

Lore

Locals whisper that the carved boar head above the bar is made from timber taken from an old watchtower once used to guard a narrow ford. Older folk say, half in jest, that when the boar's brass ring rings, the town will be forced to defend its home again; younger folk think it's just a story to scare children into coming inside before dark. There's also talk of a lost 'iron-toothed box' — whatever it was, it drew the attention of both merchants and a traveling band of sellswords a few years back, and remnants of that quarrel still rust in an old cellar beneath the tavern.
