Inside it is completely different, a bustling inn with patrons drinking, wenches serving, and run by a middle-aged going on old dwarf with a well groomed beard named Rath. Every once in a while a man in his 50s named Steel is seen, who runs a small acadamy for warriors somewhere on the premises.Decades ago, you see, this was a temple to Demogorgon. The city allows many temples, some good, others evil. As long as the temples followed the law of the city, they could do as they wished within their own walls. But, this temple began to secretly kidnap members of the city for some nefarious purpose. Enter a group of adventurers who stopped them and drove the priests from the city. The temple sat quiet for a few years, some say adventurers remaining there for some reason within the walls, perhaps learning the plans of the evil priests before in order to stop some higher scheme. Whatever the case, a training school soon opened beneath the temple, illusions and interiors built to hide the old temple from prying eyes.Soon afterward, the Inn was added. Adventurers stay in it, listening to old stories from the bartender and master living there. When asked why they are still there, they get quiet and move on to a new topic. Some gossip that there is something trapped below that they watch over making sure it doesn't awaken, others say that they have been corrupted by the temple's influence and are converting the trainees to the priesthood of Demogorgon, and yet others say that the priests never left and an ongoing battle has been raging here quietly for all these years. Whatever the case, the Sword and Board is popular with adventurers for both its ale and its mystery.</blockquote>
