The Shield Faces North

The Shield Faces North was one of the oldest taverns located in the city of Zhentil Keep during the mid–14 century DR before that city's destruction.

Location
The tavern was located near the center of Zhentil Keep's Harbor District along Harbor Street near the waterfront.

Activities
The Shield Faces North was a popular tavern for those wishing to enjoy a quiet evening. Among the usual crowd were halflings, dwarves, and older merchants. The serene atmosphere within the tavern existed because the strict access to the Harbor District prevented most of Zhentil Keep's scum from entering.
