The Dragon Jaw

Built on the road before the town grew, the tavern began as a wayside alehouse for drovers and soldiers. A local hunter brought down a juvenile drake in the second year and gifted its skull to the inn. The skull has hung above the hearth ever since. Through a pair of small raids and one fire, the building was rebuilt by townsfolk and adventurers. Over the years it developed a reputation as a place where coins change hands quick and tempers shorter. The current proprietor bought the place after winning a bar fight and keeps a ledger of every debt, slight, and favor.

History

Built on the road before the town grew, the tavern began as a wayside alehouse for drovers and soldiers. A local hunter brought down a juvenile drake in the second year and gifted its skull to the inn. The skull has hung above the hearth ever since. Through a pair of small raids and one fire, the building was rebuilt by townsfolk and adventurers. Over the years it developed a reputation as a place where coins change hands quick and tempers shorter. The current proprietor bought the place after winning a bar fight and keeps a ledger of every debt, slight, and favor.

Quirks

A brass bell behind the bar is rung once for last orders and twice to call for a brawl. Patrons toss small wooden tokens into a carved bowl under the skull for 'luck' before rolling dice. The owner keeps a ledger where favors and promises are written in charcoal not ink, so obligations can be smudged if need be. The dragon skull's glass eyes reflect a patron's face oddly, making people tell braver stories when they glance up.

Lore

Locals tell that the dragon skull wards off small pests and bad luck if its teeth face the doorway during storms. Minstrels sing that the skull once belonged to a 'road-drake' that terrorized wagons, slain by a woman known only as the Red Boot. Some believe names carved inside the skull's mouth are curses or bargains; others treat them as graffiti from rowdy patrons. Superstition surrounds the hearth: couples who pass a shard of bread around the skull together are said to have safer travels.
