Sword Coast, Faerûn

Nestled in the busy Eastway district, just off Basilisk Gate, the Blade and Stars serves as a reliable inn and tavern for travellers and locals alike. It offers moderately priced rooms and hearty meals—fish, bread, ale, and the occasional cordial—appealing to adventurers, merchants, and wayfarers. Quiet and welcoming, it's a popular waypoint during quests and side missions.

The building stretches four stories high with an attached stable, and its external sign—a curved saber superimposed on twinkling stars—was once magically enchanted. Inside, the ground floor hosts a cosy lounge, a functional kitchen, and a bar. Upper floors feature clean, modest rooms of varying quality (peasant to royal). The décor is practical and unpretentious, with wooden beams, balconies overlooking the street, and a vibe of comfortable simplicity. Served food is basic fare—fish and bread, sometimes cheese or eggs, and winter nights bring ruby cordial; prices remain moderate .
