The Roc and Troglodyte Inn

'The Roc and Troglodyte' is a fairly upmarket Inn in the Towers District of the city of Neverwinter whose top floors extend above the surrounding buildings.  

Location

Located on Archfair Avenue, the inn's neighbors include a decently-sized townhouse and the workshop of a male dwarf spellbinder by the name of Shainan Craghammer, the workshop bears a sign above the door unassumingly lettered 'Scrolls by Shainan'.  

Description

The inn is a three-storey timber and brick building, with finely carved tables and chairs, the surface of each table sealed with a fine clear resin. Accomodations consist of several decently-sized rooms with large beds and woolen mattresses. The inn's tavern on the ground floor is dominated by an enormous gouache painting above the bar depicting a gargantuan eagle-like bird swooping down upon an armoured knight on horseback bearing a shield amblazoned with a fish leaping to swallow a jewel.  
'The Roc and Troglodyte' - By Luke Fitzsimmons  

Innkeeper

The innkeeper is a portly Human man named Wernher Colton who looks to be around his sixties. He inherited the inn from his father and his father before him and exhibits extreme pride in his business eagerly retelling the tale of 'Sir Eyck of Termalaine', the titular 'Troglodyte' in the inn's name.
