Friendly Arm

The Friendly Arm was a walled hamlet on the Coast Way between Baldur's Gate and the town of Beregost.

Interior
The most prominent building around the hamlet was the stone keep which housed the titular inn, which was run by Bentley Mirrorshade. This establishment was a popular stop for people traveling on the Coast Road.

Apart from the inn, the wall surrounded a temple, a handful of houses, a stables and accompanying horse pond.

Atmosphere
At the Friendly Arm, peace was secured by the guards, who insisted that all weapons be left at the gate and that all wizards and clerics tie one thumb to their belts, a practice that spilled over to fighting monks as well.

History
The keep was once the stronghold of an evil cleric of Bhaal, but Bentley, Gellane and the rest of their adventuring party cleaned out the keep and renovated it.
