A WOODEN TAVERN

entry picture

Along Serpent's Tooth road,

You'll find a wooden tavern, 

A haven from the world outside,

Where laughter rings and tankards clink,

As oaken beams creak with age.

Here, tales of the sea, of fortunes

Those of distant lands and battles won,

Are told, beneath the setting of the sun.
