The Bellowsong Court began as a drunken experiment by a retired magistrate and a disgraced college-trained bard—but it has grown into a Suzail institution, officially sanctioned by the Crown (with several comically specific stipulations). Here, matters of property, insult, challenge, and inheritance are argued before a magically enforced crowd. But unlike any staid courtroom, the proceedings are lively: each case unfolds as a staged performance, with bard-lawyers using rhythmic argument, rhyme, and song to plead their cases. Judges, known as Pitchkeepers, act more as conductors than overseers, slamming tuning forks instead of gavels and deciding verdicts based on clarity, cleverness, and magical corroboration. Magic pervades every syllable within these walls—truth spells ensure honesty, performance enchantments boost volume, and losing litigants find themselves bound to the verdict, whether it’s delivering a rare lute across the continent or confessing their misdeeds in a city square.

The tavern features a domed roof resembling a conductor's hat, adorned with wrought-iron music notes. Stained-glass windows depict famous trials, casting colorful light inside. The interior boasts a polished sycamore stage, tiered balconies, and a gleaming bar, creating a dynamic space for both legal proceedings and festive gatherings.
