The Splintered Stair
The Splintered Stair is an inn located in Dock Ward, Waterdeep.
The entry hall of this room rises up three floors, overlooked by interior balconies linked by elegantly spiraling stairs. Its name comes from a memorable fight between adventurers, 20 winters ago, in which the fury of wielded blades left one stair damaged almost beyond repair. I love the opulent entry hall, but . . .
The stair has been replaced, but little else has been done to make guests welcome. The large, luxurious rooms are cold and dark, and chamber pots provide the only sanitary facilities. Rates are 1 sp/night for a person and mount or 5 tp/night for a person only. Extra animals, and extra persons sharing the same room, are 4 tp each.
Proprietress
Shalanna Duthmere is a pale, worn-looking lady from Daggerford who directs her six daughters in running the inn. She is a widow and is very tight with money.
