Pitch Perfect Ale Hall

History

The strangest of anomalies was discovered when a small dome structure, built entirely from bricks of hardened pitch from the area was completed.  The structure was remarkably acoustically efficient.  The resonance of the pitch-laced bricks made for wonderful conversations in which patrons were not forced to shout over the rising ambient sound. This made for one of the more relaxing and calm taverns in all of Espen.  The acoustic dampening was so remarkably efficient that on nights with only a few patrons the barkeeps have been trained to regularly cast Thaumaturgy just to prevent sensory deprivation of the patrons and staff.  

Ownership

P'andu Washar, a member of the group who built the hall from the ground up is the last remaining of the original construction team.  The rest of which (who were known to sleep in the ale hall regularly) have all either died or disappeared into the woods, suffering from hallucinations or tormented with what they described as "voices from the beyond." P'andu has thus made it his policy that patrons must remain awake within the ale hall at all times.
