Stag-Horned Flagon

The Stag-Horned Flagon was a tavern located in the village of Amphail circa the. It was still in operation by the late 1480s DR under new management.

Location
Amphail was located on the Long Road north and east of Waterdeep. It took about three days on horseback to travel from the metropolis to the village. The tavern was on the town square (known locally as the Malanderways) just a few strides from a statue of a rearing stallion called the Great Shalarn. It was separated by an alley from Golaund Sester's inn and the local carpenter shop to the south. To the east, across a side street that intersected with the Long Road, was Ammakyl Flowers and Foods. The village well was in the Malanderways between the Stag-Horned Flagon and Ammakyl's.

Structure
The cellar was lined with flagstone and this stonework extended upward to form the lower half of the main floor. The upper half was constructed with timber and the gently sloped roof was covered with sod and sprouted grass and wildflowers in the summer months.

Interior
The tavern's namesake was a large drinking cup made from an unknown warrior's helmet with a set of antlers attached as handles that hung prominently over the bar. The thick walls were decorated with old, useless weapons and farming implements such as scythes and animal yokes. The sturdy construction was evident in the huge wooden beams and massive posts that held up the roof. All the beams were pockmarked with scars from throwing knives. Furnishings were simple but sturdy tables and chairs.
