Overview

History

The Swaying Hull was founded by a bond between a Goliath mercenary troop and a Halfling river-trade guild. The structure was partially destroyed in a storm three months ago, leading to the current state of frantic, mismatched reconstruction using scavenged ship parts.

Quirks

The entire building groans like a ship at sea as the wind catches the canvas sail windows. Patrons must drink from clay pots because glass is forbidden during the 'construction phase'. A single human skull sits on a shelf wearing a yellow and purple knitted hat, which the staff treats as if it were a living guest.

What locals say

Legend says the central fire pit was dug into the site of an ancient druidic circle, and the heat from the hearth sometimes causes the sap in the fresh timber pillars to bleed strange, glowing patterns.
