Goldenforde's 999

Goldenforde's 999 is a establishment built in 999 PA by Dohvan Goldforde Sr. It was founded on the ruins of a Behir den, and displays the skeleton of the beast outside it's entrance. It is famous for its unique and ever changing menu of drinks.

## Location

Goldenforde's is located within the dwarvish colony of Gral Ultan. It lies on the third ring of the pit within section 8, hollowed into the wall itself and decorated the entrance with a elaborate display of patron gifts and the behir skeleton.

## Interior

Goldenforde's main building is made of stone like most dwarven buildings within Gral Ultan. It's floors were decorated with elaborate carvings from the masterful mason work of Dohvan Goldenforde Sr. The walls of the establishment were boarded with woods imported from the lower highlands. From the walls hung fine dwarvish lanterns, worn weapons with history, and silken banners emblazoned with the crests of Gral Ultan and it's allies. The establishment had two floors, connected through a spiral staircase near the back of the first floor. A large balcony with a central pillar which was the old steel smasher of the Starforge at its center allowed the floors to see each other and commune. Directly around this pillar was where hired entertainment was placed so both floors could hear it. It also carried a lift, which was used for quick service to the top floor. The bar itself was off to the left of the first floor, and had kegs large enough to hold so much liquid, it was said only the dwarven kings could lift it full.

## Atmosphere

The regular patronage of Goldenforde's consisted primarily of working class dwarves, and occasionally scholars or travelers wishing to document or experience the tavern or give them rare ingredients to work with. The environment inside Goldenforde's was rather chaotic to non-dwarves. Drinks were constantly being flown around and carried up lifts all the while music played and traditional tall tales of dwarven heroes and happenings at the mine were told. The Goldenforde family themselves are rather adept at fighting and kept the family war axe on a mantle behind the bar. This axe, known as "Buzzkill" by patrons was used as a way to get particularly rowdy customers out of the establishment (Usually by means of intimidation rather than violence).

## Services

Goldenforde's is well known for it's drinks. Besides from traditional dwarvish ales and meads, they were rather experimental with their booze. This habit is partially maintained due to the amount of travellers passing through, as the Goldforde family is willing to take any unique flavors they have on hand to make their drinks. This made Goldenforde's a popular place to sell odd but edible wares. Often times, when a new drink is being experimented on, it will be done live in front of the patrons of the bar and will be announced so they can watch. Dohvan Goldenforde III was infamous for coaxing non dwarves to drink the creations, which usually ended in them passed out due to the potency of dwarven ales for most humanoid races. Everything from cave roots to gem dust to bottled bronze dragon breath could be used to make drinks. It's unknown how they make the drinks consumable, but most of the time, they have no adverse effects.

## Inhabitants

Dohvan Goldenforde Jr. is the current owner of the establishment, although he does occasionally man the bar of his tavern, he mainly takes care of maintaining the establishment physically and financially. He was also in charge of hiring new employees, which mainly consisted of entertainers and security. He always had at least two capable dwarves within the tavern to help rowdy dwarves find the door lest "Buzzkill" comes off them wall.

Dohvan Goldenforde III. is the main bartender of Goldenforde's. He is next in line for inheriting the business as well. While his masonry skills are not up to par with his father's, his brewing skills are prenominal, even described by some dwarves to be prodigal in a sense. He is noted to be more jovial and charismatic than his father most of the time.
