The Court and Harp, Inn, Thistle Hold

The Court and Harp

Do you want to know how Queen Korinthia has decorated her bedchamber? Or would you rather sleep like Grand Master Seldonio? Maybe you are keener on feeling like Grand Duchess Esmerelda? Irrespective of which, the Court and Harp is the inn for you – the inn that claims to have designed its rooms based on credible reports from the bedrooms of various celebrities.

Of course, this requires that you can afford it, and also that you are able to dress and behave like a fairly decent person. The innkeeper Aragina, who has taken over the business from her dead husband, will never accept dirt or bad manners, and she has no problem expressing her opinions publicly. She has given up on getting the Town Watch to help her with difficult guests; it is commonly known that she resorts to other methods for getting rid of them.

She orders members of staff not to clean the guest’s rooms, to bang at the door with irrelevant questions in the middle of the night and to “happen” to serve moldy bread and watered beverages at supper. In recent days, there have also been rumors saying that some of the more unkempt guests at the Court and Harp have been brutally beaten and robbed.

Can it be that the widow has taken to paying less scrupulous individuals to teach the louts a lesson in manners?
