The Beached Leviathan was a three-decked inn and tavern located in the Blacklake District of Neverwinter that catered to sailors, smugglers, slavers, merchants, and others arriving by sea. It was built in and around the refurbished wreckage of the pirate ship Leviathan.
The Beached Leviathan tavern caters to sailors, smugglers, pirates, slavers, merchants, and others arriving by sea. Its innkeeper, a sallow former pirate captain named Harrag, lost a leg in a battle with sahuagin long ago. The name of the tavern honors his ship, Leviathan, which ran aground during a storm before the docks had been rebuilt. The tavern is built in and around the refurbished wreckage of the ship. (Patrons also joke that the name refers to Harrag and his expanding waistline.)
The former captain leases one of his chambers on a semipermanent basis to Len-jes, a scarred watersoul genasi who serves as Neverember’s harbormaster. Once a corsair on the Sea of Fallen Stars, she fled her enemies there and settled in Waterdeep. Neverember recognized her business acumen and recruited Len-jes to be his master of trade in the reborn city. The harbormaster’s head for numbers serves her well in balancing Soman Galt’s tax ledgers. Her less academic duties include dredging the bay to open more berths for trade ships. Neverember keeps the pressure on to bring in more and more trade.
