Roaring Dragon House

The Roaring Dragon House was a relatively new gambling hall built for rowdy games, sports, and patrons just north of Waterdeep in northwest Faerûn circa the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR.

Location
This establishment was located about one and half miles (almost two and a half kilometers) north of the city on the Long Road, only a half mile (0.8 kilometers) from its sister house, the High Flagon inn up the road to the north.

Structure
The Roaring Dragon was a high-walled compound that contained a yard, stables for the visitors, and a main building. Everything was constructed of sturdy stone (in direct contrast to the all-wood construction of the High Flagon) to keep thieves out, prevent beasts from escaping, and drastically reduce the chance of severe damage by fire. The grand arched entryway to the gambling hall was built to resemble a gigantic dragon's head with an open mouth full of fangs. Visitors walked into the mouth of the dragon to reach the main doors.
