The Drunken Morkoth Inn

This is perhaps the most popular inn in the city. A regular stop for many merchants and traveling adventurers, the combination of comfortable beds, good food, and reasonable prices make it a favorite among the city's returning visitors. Each of the rooms here is decorated with a humorous painting of Cauldron's legendary lake monster, a large morkoth. The paintings depict the morkoth in any number of embarrassing and ridiculous scenes, always with the morkoth drunk and confused, and often in incongruous locations.

Pellir Dalskar, the innkeeper, runs a very professional establishment. He also serves some unusual food and drink that those from outside the Hold of the Sea Princes haven't yet experienced.

Hokar Ale - Ale with a wheaty taste. 1 sp/pint
Keifer Black - Dark, bitter beer from Keoland. 6 cp/mug
Westkeep Scump - A thick brown ale with a sulfurous tase. 1 sp/pint
Rice Wine - Wine made from rice, common in the area. 2 sp/glass
