The Raging Lion

This little-known fine old inn is highly recommended. Despite its name, the Lion is a quiet refuge dominated by dark wood paneling, thick but worn carpets underfoot, and a strict rule against open flames of any sort. Light is provided by an assortment of glowing globes of different hues.

Its proximity to the wall and relative distance from the bustle of the city make it popular with dwarves, and at least three bands of lady adventurers have also adopted the place. Some live here permanently, helping the proprietor keep order, and others use it as a base between expeditions into the northern Sword Coast.
