History

The Crimson Stag was established nearly 60 years ago by a former hunter named Joran Redbranch, who named it after a magnificent stag he once hunted in the deep woods near Eldermoor. Over decades, it has grown from a small hunter’s lodge into the bustling center for townfolk and travelers, known for its warmth, lively performances, and occasional secretive dealings.

Quirks

The tavern’s hearth fires are rumored to be enchanted to never fully burn out, contributing to the tavern’s warm and inviting atmosphere even on the coldest nights. Bards at The Crimson Stag often tell whispered tales of a phantom stag that appears briefly in the hearth flames before vanishing.

Lore

Local legend holds that the tavern’s name and emblem hark back to an ancient guardian stag spirit said to protect Eldermoor’s forests. Some say the phantom stag is the manifestation of this spirit, appearing in the hearth flames or just outside the tavern during certain nights when the veil between worlds is thin.
