The Gold Dragon Inn, Gatherhold.
1st of Zarantyr, 998 YK. Mid Morning.
The Gold Dragon Inn is House Ghallanda’s most famous franchise. There is at least one in every major settlement, and if you travel by the major roadways, you will never be more than a day from the next. The one in Gatherhold is their flagship, serving not just as an inn, but also as the front desk of their enclave headquarters, the Great Hall.
Decorated in a lavish interpretation of the traditional Talentan style, it stands at six stories tall. Featuring two theaters staffed with House Phiarlan artists, two restaurants (one for the traditional Gold Dragon Menu, and the other an experimental kitchen), three bars, a full-service Kundarak bank, and 50 rooms, it is the beating heart of Gatherhold.
The front desk is split level, one side for the locals, and the other accommodating human sized guests. A halfling in well tailored clothing greets you, while a warforged with an equally well polished shine stands silently at attention off to the side. “Good morning to you travelers! I hope your journey is going well. May I check you in, direct you to the dining halls, or are you perhaps looking forward to this afternoon’s performance of ‘All's Quiet on the Thranian Front’?”
