The Gnarlyhouse
This historic house predates the wall of the new city. The stone foundation of this large, three-story house dates back centuries, but the building has been rebuilt several times after nasty fires. It was named after the massive stump of an oak. now long gone, that stood before it. It has served at various times as an inn, a brothel, and a schoolhouse.
Now it contains the largest and most notorious of the independent student fraternities that have formed throughout Clerkburg. Its 35 young students refer to themselves simply as the “Gnarlies,” and have a tradition of disrespect for authority and cleanliness, alcohol abuse, and combativeness. The once-grand old house is a wreck, with windows boarded up, skeletal remnants of furniture piled in the yard, and weeds sprouting everywhere.
The Gnarlies drink to excess, harass everyone, host loud parties that last well into the dawn. and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Some of them are no longer students, while most attend the more lax tutorial schools in Clerkburg. Its members usually go on to join the Greyhawk Militia or become minor tradesmen
