Buckeyed Tavern
The Buckeyed Tavern is one of the longest standing buildings in Black Hollow and is without a doubt its most important building. It was created by the father of Azgar in 1395, where Azgar's father ran it for the next fifteen years. Azgar took over after his father in 1410, and has been running the Buckeyed Tavern since.
It is the only place in Black Hollow where you can find lodging and food, so if you are an intrepid adventurer needing a comfy bed and a warm meal, Buckeyed Tavern is where you go. Not many adventurers can be found in the Buckeyed Tavern, however, since Black Hollow is a small town that is rarely visited by outsiders. A person is more likely to meet the local barber and a few farmers, then a person who has wielded a sword or flung a spear at something trying to kill them.
Purpose / Function
The Buckeyed Tavern serves several purposes for Black Hollow, but it is chiefly the meeting place for everyone within the town. Black Hollow is not large enough to have its own town hall, so the Buckeyed Tavern functions as their town hall whenever something comes up that the town needs to discuss. It has been serving as the town hall since 1397, two years after its creation and five after the founding of Black Hollow.
The Buckeyed Tavern's chief purpose, though, is to provide ale of questionable taste, good food (or so Azgar says), and a place for travelers to swap stories with the locals. It sometimes serves as an entertainment center, but this is typically limited to only once a year for a few days when a traveling circus or the likes comes to Black Hollow.
Alterations
The current Buckeyed Tavern is the same since it was originally created in 1395. The building is starting to get to the point of needing repairs, but Azgar has yet to begin any type of restoration work to the building.
Architecture
The Buckeyed Tavern is crafted almost entirely out of strong oaken planks. The building is built upon a base of solid granite that was dragged there from a local quarry several miles outside of Black Hollow. The outside of the Buckeyed Tavern lacks decorations, though inside the tavern you can find many intricate swirls and other similar designs worked into the heavy beams.
History
The Buckeyed Tavern was created in 1395 and was one of the first buildings to get completed in Black Hollow after its founding in 1392. The Buckeyed Tavern has not seen much throughout its twenty-five years, and the most exciting thing it has seen is when the town decided to lynch an elf that had murdered one of the tavern patrons.
