Gallowgar’s Inn

​This ramshackle, well-worn inn sprawls in all directions in the midst of Elturel's dockside stockyards, looking just like the spider web of clumsily linked buildings that it is.​ ​Well known for its affable host, Guldin Gallowgar, its also known as the Manure Pile to folk of delicate noses who've had to stay there in hot summer weather.​

​The Place

​Gallowgar's Inn is an aromatic assembly of mismatched warehouses.​ ​It's warm and dimly lit inside, even cozy, but the furnishings are simple, the fare even more so, and the stench of well-rotted cow dung permeates everything.​

​The Prospect

​Gallowgarís Inn is famous because of its host, a retired adventurer of mature years who seems to know everyone and everything in the Coast lands and to have a finger, or at least an investment, in almost every trading or shipping company mentioned in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast!​ ​Guldin Gallowgar dishes out advice on where to locate almost anyone or anything, and was known to sponsor caravans and adventuring bands.​

Traveler's Lore

​Gallowgar's is a favored destination by those whose coins are few, especially if they're involved with caravans or are adventurers.​ ​His sponsorship of an adventuring group was said to cost a percentage of what treasure it might find.​ ​Rumor reports his wealth as staggering, but there's no sign of it about his inn at least.​ ​There are whispers he was married to the haughtiest of Elturel's nobility, an apparently unattached lady of decadent tastes and endless parties whose tall-turreted home overlooks the city's gardens.​ ​It is certain that Guldin can get from place to place swiftly, and often unseen, and that he does know an astonishing number of folk, in many cities, and from all walks of life.​ ​Many guests came to stay just to question him or to chat. ​

The Provender

​Food doesn't have to be spectacular when everything smells of manure, but Gallowgar himself thrives on what he feeds guests: slabs of salty bread, wedges of sharp-spiced local cheese, plates of river minnows fried in eggs and seasoned with a hint of tansy and a scant handful of crushed wayflowers, and portions of stew ladled from three salt stew pots.​ ​One pot contains hare, one trout, and one shrimps and clams brought up the River Chionthar by barge.​
