The Luskan Arms

The Luskan Arms is the oldest public house in Ten-Towns, established back when Bryn Shander was still just “the camp on the hill” and Luskan was a thriving city. Many of the traders who came to Targos in those days hailed from Luskan, so the Luskan Arms was built to look like an inn that might be found in the City of Sails. As a result, much of the decor is nearly two hundred years old, reflecting Luskan as it was in the years before its decline. The inn has sturdy walls but rotten floorboards, and drafts come up into the common room from the cellar. The place is also infested with rats, which scurry between the walls at all hours of the night. The proprietor, Owenn Tarsenel, is a quiet, balding man who has sunk into a deep depression, fearing that summer will never return to Icewind Dale.
The largest guest suite in the Luskan Arms is occupied by the town speaker, Naerth Maxildanarr, who likes the inn because it reminds him of home and is a great place to meet visitors.
Owenn, the proprietor of the Luskan Arms, is a widower. Up until a two years ago, he was married to Esther, the first woman to be sacrificed to appease Auril. Ever since, Owenn has been in a deep state of melancholy. He still runs the inn, along with his fourteen year old daughter, Stefania. Stefania has also tried to take over her mother’s role as town seamstress and is doing a passable, if clumsy, job.
