A posh, two story establishment to the Northern end of Quora, the Scroll & Talon is more tavern than inn, though it does have half a dozen rooms on the second level they are most often vacant or being used by patrons who had a little too much to drink to 'sleep it off' before going home.
As with all things in Quora, this tavern is more luxurious and elegant than that which you'll find elsewhere--the stone is laced with careful scroll-work, the bar to the right side of the main room is inlaid with silver and gold depictions of twin dragons, the floor is carpeted, something none on the lower levels of Xsenzar would risk, what with water damage being what it is. Tables possess cloths made of foreign silk in creamy whites with lace trim.
In short it would make any self-respecting warrior balk at the extravagant prices and frilly curtains...and let's not even get started on the lace doilies! But conveniently, Quora is not a military city but a government one, and government officials and nobles ever HAVE liked their finery.
The Scroll and Tavern is a high-class establishment that only the well-dressed may enter, and only the wealthy are welcomed in. The bar tender looks you up and down in appraisal as you enter and lets a bit of air out of his nostrils expecting the tip he gets from you won't likely be worth his trouble as he asks, "what can I get for you sir/madam?"
