The Twisted Knuckle
The Twisted Knuckle is the name of a popular tavern within the Goblintown district of Drakmort. Once little more than a run-down dive owned by the Arcana's money launderer Aloysius Mo'liar, ownership of the tavern was later transferred to Aloysius's son Wilhelm following the former's death. Under the ownership of Wilhelm, the Twisted Knuckle was transformed from a money-laundering hovel to a popular and reputable tavern, quickly becoming a popular hub for travellers and adventuring parties.
Features
In addition to the standard amenities of a taproom and lavatories, the Twisted Knuckle has a number of unique amenities which contribute to its popularity: for starters, the tavern features a lavish beer garden, decorated with a diverse assortment of rare and lovingly-cultivated plants which cannot be found anywhere else in the desert. The tavern also features a surprisingly high-end kitchen for the preparation of food, as well as an in-house craft brewery and a wide selection of signature cocktails. The detective Dominic Crowley runs his agency out of his office within the Twisted Knuckle, and it is an open secret that the town is a common meeting place for undercover members of the Marshals. The tavern is the base of operations for the Twisted Knuckle Adventuring Party.Owners and Employees

Signature Cocktails
- Dominic's Old-Fashioned: "An enduringly popular cocktail which has endured the test of time; elegant and refined without being too ostentatious."
- Faren's Black Velvet: "A beer cocktail invented by the Hegian working class, originally served to those in mourning. The drink itself is a blend of high-society sophistication and rugged, street-level sensibility."

- Malt's Sidecar: "Named for the motorcycle attachment which allows a passenger to ride alongside the driver; a cocktail befitting a loyal sidekick who's always got your back, no matter what."
- Minerva's Bee's Knees: "A little bit sweet and with a whole lotta sting, just like our favorite mixologist-in-the-making."
- Saladin's Gold Rush: "Sweet, efficient and beautifully uncomplicated, just like everyone's favorite human fighter."

- Wilhelm's Death in the Afternoon: "A cocktail popularized by the anti-empirical subculture found in the gnomes of Lubec. This bohemian beverage is favored by artists, adventurers and vagabonds the world over."
