Fellowship of Innkeepers

This organization is one of the oldest of all the guilds of Waterdeep, and one of the most relaxed. Formed long ago as a means of protection (all the innkeepers together hiring a group of heavily-armed bodyguards that none of them could individually afford to stop drunken tavern-goers from returning to inns and getting into fights or destroying property, and to control noisy activity late at night), the guild now functions primarily as a means of sharing information. News of thieves, con-artists, brawlers, mages with urges to let off spells, and other "problem patrons" who are making the rounds from inn to inn is shared among members, speedily. The guild also arranges discount prices on ale, linens, laundering, and so on by placing orders in bulk for its members. Once every nine nights, the Fellowship Hall is opened by the Master as an inn - with dining and sleeping facilities - for members only, so that they can enjoy the comforts of an inn without being the hosts.

Notable Members Masters (Rank 3) Harnorr-leerthyn.jpg Harnorr Leerthyn Guild Speaker • Innkeep of the Swordshire House, North Ward Accustomed to dealing with nobles and rich merchants, Harnorr acts as the Speaker for the Fellowship, responsible for interacting with anyone and everyone from outside of the guild who has business with it. He affects a sort of "country gentry" personality, obsequious when dealing with nobles and the wealthy, humorously haughty otherwise.
