The Antler and The Thistle
Nestled in the heart of Brindol, The Antler and the Thistle is a modest but well-loved tavern that serves as a gathering place for locals, travelers, and adventurers alike. Its wooden sign, bearing a stylized stag’s antler entwined with a flowering thistle, swings gently in the breeze above the door.
Inside, the tavern has a warm, rustic charm. The scent of roasted meats, pipe smoke, and strong ale fills the air. Thick oak beams stretch across the low ceiling, and a large hearth keeps the main room cozy. The worn wooden tables and mismatched chairs speak to generations of patrons and stories told over mugs of dark beer.
The tavern is known for:
- A hearty venison stew served with crusty bread
- Locally brewed Brindol amber ale
- An old bard named Arlen, who plays lute and sings of the city's storied past
Adventurers often frequent the Antler and the Thistle, seeking rumors, companions, or a brief respite between perilous quests.
