Scour Tavern

The "Scour Tavern" was a drinking establishment in Black Coral, not far from the front of the Old Palace.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 2, US TPB p.51 The ceiling of its main room was constructed from inexpertly fitted and ominously leaning fragments of Moon's Spawn and the city's former palace. A permanent cloud of smoke hung overhead, blunting the light of the room's torches and candles and obscuring the low rafters and rough pillars which held the ceiling in place. Hard-backed salamanders, made drunk and amorous by the puddles of ale that collected on the floor's uneven flagstones, made a nuisance of themselves by repeatedly attempting to mate with the boots of the clientele.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.62 Smudged windows kept the city's eternal darkness at bay.
Resto was the tavern's proprietor.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.64

The "Scour" was the site of a regular game of 'Kef Tanar'--an ancient game of Tiste Andii origin--whose usual players included Spinnock Durav (a Tiste Andii), Seerdomin (an ex-follower of the Pannion Seer), and various other players (all humans). Resto made sure to keep the players well supplied with plenty of the bar's "cheap, gassy" ale and--after it became popular in Black Coral--with bottles of Kelyk (for the humans).Toll the Hounds, Chapter 2, US TPB p.51-56Toll the Hounds, Chapter 12, US TPB p.387-388Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US TPB p.179-180
