Golden Tankard

The Golden Tankard was the local tavern found in the village of Parnast as of the late 15^th century DR.^[1] It was run by Raggnar Redtooth, an amiable but unscrupulous asset of the Cult of the Dragon.^[2]

Description[]

The tavern earned its name from a particular golden tankard of plenty of dwarven origin found by its proprietor. Images of reveling dwarves and patterns of shocks of grain decorated the magical mug.^[2]

Location[]

It was situated on the south side of the village, just on the edge of the main square and central well.^[1]

Services[]

The Tankard offered mugs of ale and mead, for 3 cp or 1 sp respectively, and hearty food like stewed cabbage, black bread, and sausages.^[1] There were no beds available for rent at the tavern.^[2]

Locals were served with no extra concern, but travelers were merely offered service and reports about their activities were given to a high-ranking Dragon Cult agent, Captain Othelstan.^[2]

History[]

At some point in the 1480s DR,^{[note 1]} the Cult of the Dragon used the Golden Tankard as rallying point as they amassed a trove of wealth and riches stolen from various locales across the Sword Coast.^[2]

Inhabitants[]

Gundalin, Parnast's local wheelwright was a regular at the Golden Tankard.^[1]

Notes[]

↑ Canon material does not provide a year for the Tyranny of Dragons storyline, but in a forum post, Greg Marks stated it was set in 1489 DR. However, the events of the Tyranny of Dragons are discussed in the novel Archmage, which is set in 1485/1486 DR and has events that necessarily put it after The Rise of Tiamat. Since this inconsistency has not been cleared up, this wiki will use the vague term "1480s DR" for events related to this storyline, though it is most likely no latter than 1486 DR.
