The Creaky Tavern

The Creaky Tavern is an old and run-down establishment in Bessardie. The exterior is made of wood and it looks like it might fall apart at any moment. The sign above the door is faded and weather-beaten, but you can still make out the words "The Creaky Tavern" written in a shaky hand.
The bar itself is made of rough-hewn wood and is staffed by a gruff-looking man with a thick beard and calloused hands. He grunts a greeting as you enter and pours you a mug of ale without asking what you want. The ale is warm and slightly flat, but it's the best you'll find in Bessardie.
Inside, the tavern is dimly lit and the air is thick with the smell of alcohol and smoke. The wooden floorboards creak underfoot and the walls are adorned with various trinkets and knick-knacks, giving the place a cluttered and chaotic feel.
There are a few patrons scattered throughout the tavern, hunched over their drinks and speaking in hushed tones. They all seem to be on edge and wary of each other, as if they're afraid of being overheard.
Despite its rough appearance, the Creaky Tavern is a place where information can be gathered. The bartender has a sharp tongue and a keen ear, and is always willing to trade information for a few coins or a free drink. The other patrons, although initially suspicious, can be convinced to open up about what they know if approached in the right way.
