The Prancing Dolphin
Alterations
The Prancing Dolphin used to be a mundane inn, but after the continued growth of Arcanix and the university, it evolved. Skipper's tank was installed soon after the Artificer Worker's Union was developed and alumni from the university installed the giant runes in the tavern.
Architecture
From a distance, the Prancing Dolphin looks like any other port tavern, with a granite and log structure and a rowdy crowd. However, those who approach the tavern notice the arcane influences in the architecture. There are plenty of magically infused stone giant runes that bolster the foundation of the Prancing Dolphin. The interior also has a special tank that reaches through the roof of the tavern. This tank has transmutation magic infused within that opens and closes the top to allow the dolphin, Skipper, to surface when needed. The bottom of the tank has a similar feature that allows Skipper to reach Scion's Inlet. Some have speculated that the tank is actually made of refined residuum, a crystal that has a multitude of magical features.
Defenses
The tavern has a few different defenses. Besides the basic security that handles the ruffians, there are a few animated statues that are armed with magic and sword.
Tourism
The Prancing Dolphin is well known across Aundair and other settlements on Scion's Inlet. Skipper's tank is the main attraction to the tavern. The Prancing Dolphin can support many visitors on the main floor as well as the many rooms they have on the second and third floors.
