Far Anchor

Far Anchor is a large inn on the north side of Far Rider Street in Scornubel. It was built in around 1365 DR by a retired sea captain and its name refers to the distance by river barge to the Sword Coast. It has large and bright rooms with simple furniture and baths and is full most of the time. It has the largest communal dining room in Scornubel and it is open to non-guests. The guests tend to be the wealthier visitors to the city. In addition to the baths in each room, there is a warm bath in the cellar of the building. The staff of the Far Anchor are all retired adventurers, and most carry hidden weapons. The inn is said to be haunted by the spirit who was stabbed for his money, and the ghost is said to behave as though his stash of coins had not yet been found.

Food and drink
The Far Anchor does not serve alcohol. Food consists of roasts, stews, vegetables and fried potatoes, as well as frogs, river clams and eels, and cheeses and sausages from all over Faerûn. The Elturian gray cheese and the Corm Orp sausage made from squirrel meat, ground nuts and hogs are both popular.
