The Howling Boar

The Howling Boar opened fifteen years ago when a pair of retired mercenaries bought a burned-out stable and turned it into a refuge for travelers and fighters. Over the years it earned a reputation for loud revelry and quick fists. The house survived a small raid by river bandits and a tense year under a new magistrate who tried to clamp down on brawling. Ownership changed once when one of the founders sold his share and vanished. Despite broken chairs and faded songs, the tavern remains the beating heart of the market quarter.

History

The Howling Boar opened fifteen years ago when a pair of retired mercenaries bought a burned-out stable and turned it into a refuge for travelers and fighters. Over the years it earned a reputation for loud revelry and quick fists. The house survived a small raid by river bandits and a tense year under a new magistrate who tried to clamp down on brawling. Ownership changed once when one of the founders sold his share and vanished. Despite broken chairs and faded songs, the tavern remains the beating heart of the market quarter.

Quirks

The tavern's large boar's head seems to 'howl' when the crowd gets rowdy. Locals drop a coin into the boar's carved mouth for luck before a fight. A battered whistled tune is used as a secret signal to call the bouncer to a table. The house dog, Pox, will steal unattended food and return it in the morning to anyone sleeping behind the bar. Regulars count fights as part of the night's entertainment and will cheer for the bold rather than the polite.

Lore

Local rumor says the tavern's emblem, a snarling boar's head mounted above the bar, was carved from the shield of a famed huntsman. Some claim an old rune carved into its base brings luck to those who touch it before a fight. Sailors and riverfolk call the place the 'howl' because the tavern's dog is notorious for imitating a human laugh after midnight. The market quarter tales add that the cellar once hid refugees during a past siege, and a faded mark behind a loose stone may still show the old secret route.
