The Pride of Zhentil Keep, which was also simply called the Pride[2], was an infamous tavern and inn found in Zhentil Keep in 1358 DR. [1][2][3]
Location[]
The tavern was located in Zhentil Keep's Foreign Quarter on the south bank of the River Tesh. The tavern sat in the western section of the quarter near the South Force Gate at the intersection of Zhent Avenue, Teshwave Street, Center Street, and Twilight Street.[4][5]
Description[]
The Pride of Zhentil Keep was rumored to be so dirty that even the chamberpots leaked. Occupants of the inn were usually cold because of the poorly insulated walls.[1] The Pride rented fifteen rooms.[2] Volothamp Geddarm even described the Pride as "one of the ten worst locales of any kind in the Realms."[3]
Activities[]
Brawls broke out on a nightly basis here. Despite the rowdy conditions in the common room, the Pride hired sellswords to guards the guests upstairs, ensuring they received a restful night's sleep.[2]
Inhabitants[]
The Pride was run by a half-orc innkeep named Berk in the Year of the Gauntlet, 1369 DR.[3]
