The Stumbling Knight

Overview

History

Built over eighty years ago by a disgraced knight of Hálfyr who turned to brewing after losing his station, the inn has become a neutral ground where the city's commoners and minor nobility mingle in relative peace.

Quirks

The tavern is famous for its uneven floorboards near the entrance, intentionally left unlevel so that every person entering 'stumbles' just like the knight on the sign. Legend says if you don't trip, you are cursed with bad luck for the night.
