History
The keep was once the stronghold of an evil cleric of Bhaal, but the gnome Bentley Mirrorshade and his adventuring party, including his wife Gellana Mirrorshade cleaned out the keep and renovated it. The Friendly Arm is now a safe haven for travellers.[2]
Interior
The most prominent building around the hamlet was the stone keep which housed the titular inn, which was run by Bently Mirrorshade. This establishment was a popular stop for people travelling on the Coast Road. The rooms were airy, the food was good, and everything was clean. The barmaids were rumoured to be iron golems camouflaged as women by illusionary means. Apart from the inn, the wall surrounded a temple, a handful of houses, and stables.[1]
Atmosphere
At the Friendly Arm Inn, peace was secured by the guards, who insisted on all weapons left at the gate and all wizards and clerics tied one thumb to their belts; a practice which spilled over to fighting monks as well.[citation needed]
Places of interest
Temples
