The boar skull above the hearth is carved with faint sigils said to be from a hunting lodge of the old Baron of Kelte. Locals claim the hearthstone hides a token that opens a private cellar used in older days to hide contraband and pay-outs during war. A few older patrons hum a crooked tune that supposedly names roads where bandits patrol—it's a melody some say used to be a scout's code. Many find the tavern welcoming; a few whisper it is also a waypoint for those who prefer to move in shadows between towns.
