It is above averagely sized by inn standards, standing a good 3 stories high. Entering through the front door will take you to the beating heart of the Tankard. Here you'll find the tavern area, and you will also possibly be loudly welcomed by a certain friendly barkeep if he's present at the time and sees you come in. In the center of the room is a large fire pit that provides warmth and also aids in the cooking of a hog roast that is served every other night. If you walk through the tavern area and head out the back door, you'll find yourself in a beer garden with a wooden floor so people don't have to walk on the muck for which the town was named. There is also a door behind the bar, which leads to the kitchen, where the food is taken from the pantry and prepared for customers in the tavern and the drink kegs are brought up from the cellar and taken out to the bar. Opposite the bar is a flight of stairs that leads to the upper levels. Ascend the first flight and you'll find the bedrooms where those who have paid for room and board at the Tankard may rest for the night. Ascend the second flight and you'll find the attic room, the Tankard's largest bedroom that is reserved for the innkeeper. The Adamant Tankard has something in its kitchen and cellar for everyone, from hog roast to sweet rolls and dwarven stout to bog standard ale. The Tankard also has a list of 'House Brews' made by the innkeeper himself, as well as a list of 'Local Brews' made by other local brew masters. The inn is named after an heirloom of the Strongheart family, a large tankard made of pure adamantine. It is reserved for the innkeeper and is kept in a strongbox in a hidden compartment under the bar when not in use. Bartholomew Strongheart is the Adamant Tankard's current innkeeper, inheriting ownership of the inn from his father after he was killed in a bar fight 5 years prior. Though he's almost always manning the bar, when matters call him elsewhere, Bartholomew's siblings keep the Tankard running smoothly while he's away.
