Emerald Tavern

The Emerald Tavern was a tavern and communal space located in Neverwinter Wood as of the late 15 century DR. It was a noted gathering place for members of the Emerald Enclave.

Location
The Tavern was located in a wood elf settlement that sat high in the trees of Neverwinter Wood. The city of Neverwinter was visible from a large window.

Structure
The building was formed of tree branches and saplings that had been grafted and weaved such that they had grown and fused together.

Interior
The inside was bright and welcoming, with live music and lots of light. The décor included elements modelled on flowers, seed pods, and leaves. The furniture was carved of wood.

History
Following the rise to power of Forge Fitzwilliam over Neverwinter in the late 1490s DR, the new lord soon quarreled with the Emerald Enclave and the wood elves of Neverwinter Wood, who questioned his legitimacy. This led to a campaign of terror in which the Neverwinter Guard executed elves and began clearcutting the forest. Soon, the devastation encroached upon the Emerald Tavern and was clearly visible from its windows.

At this time, the druid Doric&mdash;a resident of the wood elf village and member of the Emerald Enclave&mdash;joined forces with Edgin Darvis, Holga Kilgore, and Simon Aumar, a group of thieves seeking to overthrow Forge. She brought them to the Emerald Tavern to discuss their plans, and they again met there after Doric infiltrated Castle Never using her wild shape ability. Once the party had successfully thwarted Forge, they met once more at the Emerald Tavern to watch a fireworks display over the city of Neverwinter.
