Falling Star Tavern

The Falling Star Tavern was a drinking establishment located in the port city of Khaerbaal in Halruaa.

Atmosphere
The rowdy tavern was located in the city's docks next to a busy fishery. The tavern was popular spot among the young men in training of the House Jordain to blow off steam in bar brawls. In contrast to pugilism, verbal battles were just as common as debating was one of the jordaini's many skills. Among other entertainment provided by the drinking establishment were regular bardic performances. However, they did not take place daily.

Members of the Halruaan navy, adorned in blue-green uniforms, and various local militia groups, were a big share of the Falling Star's clientele. Pirates frequented the establishment, but they tended to keep a low profile. As duels were popular in Khaerbaal, folk tended not to poke their noses in other people's personal business. And in case duels did happen, the Falling Star kept the alley behind the tavern free of garbage and debris.

Merchants, blacksmiths, dwarven miners, and many other locals could be seen imbibing the tavern's liquid dinner. Halruaan golden wine was a popular drink, served in silver decanters.
