Broken Dagger

The Broken Dagger is a stinking watering hole in the southern part of Dagger Falls in Daggerdale.

History
In 1336 DR, the Zhentarim took control of Daggerdale and Dagger Falls fell under Zhent rule. Around 1367 DR, the tavern was frequented by Black Network soldiers and their allies. Around this time, a retired Zhentish fighter, Tharwin One-eye, owned the taphouse and turned it into a wild and dangerous bar. It was during Tharwin's reign of The Broken Dagger armed hobgoblins used metal clubs to clear out drunken customers or break up fights. Around 1369 DR, Randal Morn reclaimed Daggerdale from the grasp of Zhentil Keep and restored order to the dale. At this time, the half-ogre, Dynter, turned the falling apart building from an orc brawling pit into a preferred place for adventurers to have a drink.

Interior
The main building of The Broken Dagger is a burnt-out shell. To enter the tavern, customers pass under a sign painted with two broken halves of a weapon and descend old cellar stairs into a dirt covered room, lit by lanterns, and a row of beer kegs acting as the bar. There is a wide, sloped, comfortable leaning rail all around the walls to keep the filthy inhabitants from dirtying new painting of naked men and women wrestling, which circles the three of the walls of the taproom. Another set of stairs exit out behind the bar for breaking up fights or escorting drunks out into the street.

Staff
Under Dynter's ownership, patrons laugh and drink and do not constantly look over their shoulders looking for the flash of a dagger or the gleam of a iron cudgel. Dynter is aided by five bulky human warriors, who once were members of the raiding organization known as the Tesh Tusks.
