| Red Serpent Tavern | Ariadne | The Inn has an air of relaxation which belies its busy throng. An open hearted fire set into the eastern wall is of great interest to many of those within - for around the log fire have clustered a dozen stools. Thick wooden tables cover the rest of the floorspace, while beyond the bar to the south a flight of stairs lead up into the private rooms. Lanterns hang from the beamed ceiling, though the light is diffused by the thickness of the smoke which billows out over most of the groups of townsfolk enjoying each others company around you. | None | None |
| The Silver Hind Tavern | Ariadne | Boisterous and vibrant are the most adequate words which would inadequately summarize the Silver Hind tavern of Ariadne. The clamour of conversation rules out discerning individual voices, while the raucous singing and scuffles of the merry drinkers overwhelms your eyes with scenes to describe. The floorboards are polished but worn by the heady throng and the lanterns which lay claim to shedding light on the tavern are easily defeated by the rising smoke and laxness of the owners in replenishing the spent candles. | Sailor907 | Sailor Quest |
| Lands Edge Tavern | Astrea's Delta | The rather humorous sign that swings above the door, depicting a man hanging from a cliff, seems to be the only humorous thing about this small local tavern. Your presence here is whispered about by the locals that sit at some of the tables around you. Their eyes catching yours briefly before they look away back into their tankards of ale, muttered comments not quite loud enough for them to be audible. The wood panelled walls and relatively low ceiling make this an uncomfortable place and you can not quite relax here | scroll798 sage320 sailor909 | Sailor Quest & Sage of the Delta |
| Tavern of Wisdom | Coriona | This grand hall is unforgiving in its decoration, little comfort afforded to its patrons. Stone slabs line the floor, the same rippled grey as its unpainted, adorned walls. Wooden beams of cedar make up the high roof and plain benches which are set in orderly rows before the bar. A great number of caskets and bottles and a few giants kegs of ale are there available, a surprising variety considering the austere interior. Light ushers from round porthole windows and guttering torches set high in the walls, lending a macabre red-tinged ambience to the chamber | Sailor924 | Sailor Quest |
| Fisherman's Tavern. | Eastpoint | You are able to see by the light of the lantern. It is, you decide, not a particularly savory drinking establishment with the other customers seemingly either being rough sea-going types or out and out rogues most of which eye you perhaps with a view to extending their personal wealth at your expense. In one corner a model ship stands on a small shelf accurate in every detail right down to the rigging, its name is the Tatlow. On the bar several empty glasses await refills from the over weight barman who it could be said out classes the customers in his shallowness of character and extremely bad looks. He grins at you like a shark does at its next meal, this does nothing to reassure you that you would be safe here. | barman79 | Tavern rivals quest |
| The New Tavern | Eleuthera | Rarely has it been your misfortune to witness such a grotesque hovel as this. There is filthy straw spread across the floor and overflowing spittoons in the corners, what furniture there is appears to be mostly broken and the fat, ruddy landlord looks like he has not changed his apron for a year. The place is heaving with jetty labourers and the reek of stale beer, stale whisky and stale bodies is enough to make your head spin | None | None |
| The Babbling Brook Tavern | Greeny's Edge | Its decoration and furniture worn by the daily deluge of eager patrons, this tavern has adopted a slightly faded and subdued appearance. The woollen carpet that was once the pride of its owner has long since succumbed to the discolouring tide of ale, the once immaculate walls stained a mild yellow by countless smouldering pipes. But the decor is clearly but a generation or two old, the unusual bottles arrayed on the bar reflected by a mirror lining the wall behind. You conclude the tavern has a healthy custom, and even now curious eyes heavy with drink raise to observe your speculations | barmaid2712 villagers409 sailor910 | Sailor Quest |
| Boatman's Rest Tavern. | Isabella | The cheery interior of the tavern is decorated with a fine fresco that immediately catches your eye. It depicts a scene of great battle twixt two boat borne adversaries, as you gaze you wonder where and when such a battle took place. Looking round you see a great fish has been hung above the bar with a small plaque to the effect that the fishing prowess of Floridian is not to be scorned. The bar extends the full length of the room where it reaches a door that leads out into a picturesque garden beyond. The only other door opens out onto the Quay square that seems busy by comparison to this relaxed place. | Location of Theives Guild | None |
| Tavern of the Spiralled Hilt. | Knightswood | Walls almost charred with the stain of foggy tobacco smoke pervade a certain gloominess at first to this spacious public house. What lends it its popular appeal however is the huge blazing hearth that is sunk in to the southern wall, from which your cheeks already glow with a precise warmth. Circled about it, are stools and benches occupied by gruff bearded folk sitting gnome-like and clutching tankards that spill over with the frothy head of beer or ale within. They lend you nothing more than a slow glance as you look about - an uncongenial or even inhospitable regard for your presence, you think, until you spot their eyes that betray the tell-tale lethargy of assured drunkenness. | Sailor906 | Sailor Quest |
| Alleyway Outside a Tavern | Krempton | There is actually no tavern here!? | Sailor908 | Sailor Quest |
| Tavern of the Golden Dragon | Kristianisti | The earthy tones in this Above the arched lintel, in lovingly adorned cabinets are icons of the deities of Avalon. These welcome signs are offset by the reflective gaze of the patrons, they ruminate amongst themselves in conspiratory whispers. The sturdy oak bar is inlaid with strips of heavy dark wood, arranged in intricate patterns to create a picture of an ox pulling a plough. The air hangs heavy with the mingled smells of the local brew and tobacco from the fertile uplands | Sailor917 | Sailor Quest |
| The Lily Pad Snug | Marshton | You enter through the low wooden archway, alighting in a wooden timbered chamber, which serves as a smaller area, for those who wish to drink in a bit more peace. A few low wooden benches have been situated around the room, placed in rickety partitions, for private conversations. The floor of the chamber is scattered with sawdust which absorbs some of the dampness which otherwise would rot the unseasoned timbers. Looking about the room, you notice that yet another chamber leads off from this to the north, a small den which appears to serve some sort of clandestine purposes. | None | None |
| Grove Tavern Bar | Wildland-Rangers Guild | This large room is the main bar of the grove tavern, a roughly square room with a series of large windows looking out eastwards on to a clearing within a thick forest. A doorway leads south into the entrance hall, and another smaller door leads northeast out into a garden of some form. The wide bar runs along the western wall, with various drinks arrayed. You can hear snatches of conversation from local townspeople grumbling about life in general whilst they sit at the wooden tables sipping their tankards. | barmaid2492 garion602 book5282 | None |
| Mortons Peak Saloon Bar | Wildland - Near the Waterall | The Public Bar of the Morton's Peak is filled with an almost palpable hubbub of intermingled conversation from assorted figures hunched over the dark, ale-stained oaken tables. The proprietor leans across the polished bar, engrossed in a discussion with one of the more serious drinkers. Above him are rows of shining glasses, and behind them a rack of spirits bottles. There is a brass bell for Last Orders and over a doorway to the north a large clock-face measures out the seconds with a methodical ticking. On the door itself are inscribed the words "Saloon Bar", and an open stairway in the far corner leads upwards past a sign saying "Rooms". A crackling log fire in the hearth fills the whole room with a stuffy warmth and the faint tang of woodsmoke, just perceptible over the underlying aroma of beer. | Barmaid3665 | None |
| The Seaman Bar | Mercinae | This lively bar is the centre of the life at the Mariner's Guild. Run by Brandybur, it is always cheerful and friendly and you feel that you could do a lot worse than sit here and drown your sorrows amongst friends. The furniture is cheap and damaged by many a brawl, yet far from spoiling the pleasure of visiting this adds a sense of charm and just a hint of danger to drinking here. | Sailor901 Spy22376 | Sailor Quest] & [[Novice Quest |
| Slumbering Serpant Tavern | Mercinae | This is a large wooden inn. It is decorates with carvings of various types of snakes along the eaves of the roof. The inn was whitewashed at one time, but most of the paint has resting comfortably by a large fireplace. A corral and stable, apparently empty, are off to the side. | Book22130 | Sarec |
| The Moon Inn | Mercinae | You stand at the centre of a crowded room, surrounded by at once general chatter, raucous laughter and the general hubbub of a noisy ale house. This large room contains around ten tables, each set with a dimly burning candle. The only lighting is thrown out from the table candles giving the room a dingy effect, you can hardly make out anything through the columns of smoke which rise around the tables. An archway in the southern wall leads out of the Inn, while there are three thick wooden doors (east, northeast and northwest) leading into smaller rooms. | None | None |
| The Golden Grape Tavern | Morgana's Rise | The Golden Grape tavern derives its name from the grapes grown in the vineyards to the north of the village, and from which the people of Morgana's Rise make the excellent wine which the village is noted for. The tavern is a cosy place with wooden seats and tables, and tall wooden stools running the length of the bar. Above the bar itself hang numerous glasses and tankards, and behind it are various bottles of wines and spirits, with two pump handles which are used to draw up the ale from the cellar. The smell of alcohol lies very strongly in the air, which would indicate that the tavern is very popular with its customers. | None | None |
| The Entmoot Tavern | Oakwood's End | Simple in its decorative style, this large room has all the trappings of a tavern serving a small village. Pine wood walls and thick-set furniture embellished with thick cotton-covered cushions add a homely feel, whilst paintings and other ornaments hung about the walls infuse the tavern with a historical note. Most of the paintings depict the woodlands of Oakwood set against the gleaming spires of the northern mountains, but some chart the development of the town itself - you notice one sketch of this very tavern in construction. The floor is laid with smooth paving stones, cold underfoot but you are warmed by a blazing hearth set into a sturdy chimney breast on one wall. The bar, a wide affair of sturdy hardwood, stands along one wall, behind which is spread a fine selection of barrel, basket and bottle for the sampling. | Sailor911 | Sailor Quest |
| The Pennyworth Tavern | North Ogg | Despite its drab and unspectacular exterior, the Pennyworth tavern is vibrant little inn. Lanterns shed ample light on a scene of typical village warmth. The tavern is a single room, its bar in the northern hall guarding its cargoes of beer kegs, mead barrels and imported liqueurs. Elsewhere low wooden tables and meticulously carved stools offer seating for the weary traveller, and an open heart in the eastern wall has been set with a bearskin rug and a semi-circle of comfortable chairs. The air is thick with the warming tang of pipe smoke, and the tables laden with the bounty of the village; thick sides of beef, mugs of fine mead, roasted fish, and goblets of spiced wine | None | None |
| Drunken Sailor | Parrius | |||
| The Seagull Inn | Parrius | |||
| Halfway Tavern | Along the Highway | Perhaps more comfortable than the inn's exterior might suggest, this tavern is decked out with a splendid arrangement of furniture all carved from highly prized timber. Each chair to each table has incredible carved artwork not only on the chairs' backs and seats but on the legs too and with equal precision and care. All the tables are polished clean as if they had never felt the rough scrape of a metal tankard on their surface, but then you have already noticed that some of the tankards are carved from wood too. Above the bar is a price list for the various ales and spirits; beside the bar is a small wooden stairway that leads up to another floor, a sign next to it informing you that it leads in fact to the guest room. | Sailor903 Barmaid59330 | Sailor Quest |
| Saloon Bar of the Giants Feast Tavern | Snowfoot | Surrounding you are the vestiges of a homely village tavern, enclosing you within its warm scent of ale. Dry stone walls have been clad with hardwoods and carpets to seal against the cold air of the foothills, dimly visible outside through frosted glass windows. Strong timbers support a thatched ceiling, where you glimpse a healthy stock of winter supplies hidden within the shadowed beams overhead. The sturdy bar runs around the edge, behind which are arrayed a selection of hearty brews to whet the palette of visitors to Snowfoot village | Sailor915 | Sailor Quest |
| Public Bar of the Green Leaf Inn. | Springdale | The bar is packed full of boisterous town and city folk greedily demanding ale from a harassed barmaid. You make out burly sailors eagerly puffing away on their overflowing pipes, woodsmen still carrying their axes in bulging tool belts and money lenders eager to discuss business with new customers. The air is thick with sweet smelling smoke, stale beer and the intrigue of the days events. As you weave through the throng and attempt to attract the barmaids attention, you notice a trap door recessed into the floor behind a stained oak bar. The barmaid finally manages to untangle herself from a particularly amorous customer and breathlessly comes across to serve you. As she approaches she smiles sadly at you and asks, 'what can I get ya love?'. | Barmaid | None |
| The Silver Oyster Tavern | Springdale | It is within the disreputable shadows of the further reaches of this bar that many a suspect tale been told, or dishonourable pact made only to be later broken. Indeed many of the older patrons appear to have suffered many unfortunate turns of fate, for now they flagrantly indulge themselves in the brewers arts. More animate than these tragic cases are the younger fishermen and traders who discuss their business and pleasure raucously over a ceaseless stream of emptied flagons. Although curious eyes are raised to strangers you are quickly absorbed into the throng of the crowd, wherein you glimpse many features more unusual than your own. | Spy28190 | Novice Quest |
| Saloon bar of the Golden Wheatsheaf Inn. | Springdale | Decorated in a fine yet somewhat gaudy style, this public house has served as a meeting place for citizens and visitors to Springdale for many centuries. Herein meet passing travellers and hardened traders to discuss their journeys and the price of fish over a hearty flagon of the local ale. This viscous brew is hand-pumped by the strong-armed barmaids, each pint drawn with a thick frothy head crowning the deep brown liquid. Wooden benches afford seating upon neatly embroidered cushions about the low tables, some of which take in the vista of the travellers entering and leaving the city, whilst others prefer the shadows of the tavern's further reaches. | Sailor916 Spy22195 Book84768 | Sailor Quest & Sarec |
