The Gauntlet Urik

Tavern
Urik in Athas

Perhaps the loudest, rowdiest and most exciting inn to stay in all of Urik. This large 4-story building was once a merchant house compound converted into an inn several decades ago. The regular customers are merchants, would-be gladiator trainers, beast masters and other similar individuals. No one really comes for the food or the accommodations, they come here for the nightly action. There is always a brawl of some type that occurs at the inn. Its central hall designed as a fighting pit recessed into the ground, with tables, benches and viewing alcoves all around. It’s owner, Kandalanu, hosts a weekly fight night with a unique twist that always fills the inn to capacity. There is a persistent tale that King Hamanu, disguised as a gladiator, once stayed at the inn and battled numerous competitors to win a prize, a steel fanged gauntlet, which he awarded to the inn and it remains mounted behind the main bar. Templars rarely harass the Gauntlet, and sometimes are found within in secret, fueling rumors that the king may have in fact been here and prevents his templars from enforcing his laws too harshly.
