Scarlet Shield

The Scarlet Shield was a roadhouse inn in the town of Loudwater in the Savage Frontier, in operation in the 1360s DR.

Location
It stood on the southern side of the market, in the town's Highbank area.

Description
Although of average quality, with deliberately rustic furnishings and apparently cleanliness and service to match, the Scarlet Shield could actually be relatively enjoyable. The staff, though rarely sighted, were generous with food and bedding. The building was often filled with the smell of warm baking bread.

History
The inn was built by a retired warrior, and named for the rusting shield he'd carried into battle. This man was deceased by 1366 DR, by which time the inn was managed by his nephew, who still ran it through 1370 DR His many tales of his uncle suggested he was one of the greatest warriors of the Realms, capable of many great and unlikely deeds.
