Knightshade Taverns (and Inns) are temples to Besgar and Samantha. The sign outside usually has the silhouette of a male and female halfling, hand in hand, male leading with dirk drawn, under a cresent moon.

All are welcome, though it is not a place for those who hate Kindiss, halflings, or hobbits. If you have a problem with a halfling that is between you and him/her. If you have a problem with halflings ... Let’s put it this way: halflings (high dex creatures) with short composite bows, good at hiding in forests or dark alleys, found in large numbers if you give them a minute or two. Now toss in their allies, and halflings get along with most everyone.

Food is, at the very least, good and reasonable priced, more likely to be great, with higher prices for the exotic stuff. Apple pie is always on the menu. Some local conditions require that a Faerie Dragon lives on the grounds or within the Tavern.

Within the tavern ALL goblets and tankards nullify any poison (well, except alcohol) within it. This is an effect of holy ground, not magical goblets/tankards.

"Choose your poison" There are a few drinks you can order that come with poison in them. Yes, Nightshade is one of them. (Just making sure my halflings have that constitution bonus vs poison...building up a resistance)

Other drinks available:

• Potions of Vitality.
• Potions of Invisibility
• Potions of Regeneration, aka “Trolls Blood” aka “Halfling Holy Water” The description how it historically has been follows:

  Regenerate 1 hp/turn. Duration 7 hours. Potion must be consumed before death (-10 hp). Potion always lasts for 7 hours. Duration between points healed depends on the amount consumed. Only 1/2 of a potion consumed regenerates 1hp/2 turns. Known as “Trolls Blood” in the Knightshade taverns. Made by the halfling gods for the halfling people it is also know as “Halfling Holy Water.” Halfling Holy Water is clear. Trolls Blood has color added to it and is “...whatever color the locals think trolls blood should look like.”

Knightshade taverns are thieves’ guilds and either support a fighter’s guild or also functions as a fighters guild (again, the tavern way of life...bar fights, duels out back, grand stories of epic battles...in addition to the traditional schooling).
