Scholar's Folly
A tavern located close to the Stockcross Public Consortium, beloved by students and despised by professors.
This tavern is considered one of the rowdiest in the city, filled with students at all times of day and night, espeically during exam season. The bar is filled with tables and booths to accommodate the numerous patrons and is split across two floors with a single, 30ft bar downstairs across from the large fireplace. The Folly is run by a retired professor from the Consortium; Mister Innsbrem Renninthink, former Professor of Economics.
Innsbrem, a moon elf in his 400s, set up the tavern after an argument with the consortium which resulted in his 'early retirement' nearly 200 years ago to spite the school. He has made it his mission to remain a thorn in their side until his dying day. He has pale lavender skin and long white hair that he lets flow freely about his shoulders. He still wears his raiments from his teaching days and the students who frequent the bar still refer to him as Professor.
The Folly often has travelling bard troupes from the Modumo Academy come to perform and is famous for their signature drink: Counterspell, a mix of absinthe and whiskey that while unable to actually undo magic, it makes the drinker so intoxicated they cannot perform the verbal or somatic components to cast anything.
