Big Orange Whale

The Big Orange Whale is an inn located in the Inner Riverside Ward of Trynser City. It was easy to distinguish by its large sign with a big orange whale. It is sometimes nicknamed Snaggafarx after the orange-bellied whale.
== History ==
The inn was started by Isaac the Sailor in 1651. He had arrived in Inner Riverside Ward on the whimsical holiday of Madcap, the 45th day of Flowering. He planned to meet with and sail under Captain Baha on the Paiute from Trynser City to the city of Duranian. But he learned that the only inn he could afford that had any room at all was the Hand Bucket. It was in bad shape and overcrowded, so he had to share a bed with the tattooed Kinkin. Kinkin was an extremely large harpooner also hired by Captain Baha (who stayed there as well, although in a nicer room). Kinkin claimed his father owned an island called Yolin Island. In celebration of Madcap, the rotund Kinkin insisted on sleeping with his head under the covers. The next morning, Isaac and Kinkin attended services at the Temple of Edyleine led by Father Mapplethorpe on the more serious holiday Edyl. The father told a parable about a man being swallowed by a whale which Isaac could relate to.
Isaac and Kinkin then left with Captain Baha on the sailing ship Paiute. Baha had "an unregenerate will" for finding and killing the orange-bellied dragon Snaggafarx, which he called a "big orange whale." Baha claimed the dragon had bitten off his nose, for which he wore a greatly oversized prosthetic. The ship, which allegedly carried enough money to pay an army to attack the dragon, sank, but Isaac managed to save himself from drowning. He returned to Inner Riverside Ward, and rebuilt the inn where he, Kinkin, and Captain Baha had stayed. He called the new inn the Big Orange Whale, and opened it on Madcap in 1651. Nobody knew where he got the money.
