Dewback's Drink
A mud brick palisade surrounds the exterior of the inn. On the palisade is a fresco of a frolicking dewback. Inside the palisade, there are a number of hitches for animals, though none are present, along with a water and hay trough. The inn itself is a two story building with a low dome in the center. Inside, you find a cool, smoke-filled room with stone floors and low arches. The walls are decorated with beautiful mosaics, mostly geometric shapes and patterns. Most of the patrons lounge on sedans and warm cushions smoking water pipes and eating dates and small meat pies. A pair of merchants appear to be playing an odd looking board game in the corner over dark amber liquors. All of the servants and staff appear to be small kobolds, cloaked in layers of thin linens of many colors.
Purpose / Function
Dewback’s Drink was once just the estate of a wealthy Qartagonian noble in the city. After the Pilgrims took Jeharoa, the estate was abandoned. Shortly thereafter, a kobold family started to squat in the abandoned structure. They were led by a kobold named Kablus and they decided to open a tavern to earn some money. Kablus died years later, and the inn was taken over by his eldest daughter, Kabal. Today, the inn is the most popular watering hole in all of the Scaled Quarter. It maintains this by being not owned by dragonborn—which would offend the Pilgrim aristocracy—while also maintaining the culture of the Qartagonians. These include offering a variety of flavored water pipes, za’atar tea, and fermented turmeric ciders as well as having Qartagonian entertainment, including fire dancers and singers who perform in High Draconic.
