The Dancing Dragon Inn
The Dancing Dragon was a famous tavern known far and wide, established generations ago by a group of pioneers from Phovezila. The Jonsuul family were the establishers of this humble inn, originally acting as a rest stop for travelers on long journeys.
Travelers would often stop and camp near the inn if the rooms were full, and the perpetual tents and makeshift shelters soon gave way to actual buildings. As time progressed, a small nameless town sprung up around the inn, with it in its center. Ownership of the inn was passed on to future Jonsuul heirs, each of which continued to faithfully run their family business and add on to the building's iconic outline.

Political Influence #
The most interesting aspect of the Dancing Dragon was its political status. The tavern and the surrounding nameless town (funnily enough, called the Nameless Town) belonged to no kingdom or dominion, remaining politically neutral in any and all conflicts. The Jonsuuls were incredibly respected amongst those who met them--so respected that anyone and everyone deposited money, weapons, and even secrets with them.
The Jonsuuls’ trustworthiness was unparalleled and as real as it was legendary. It is said that during his time as owner of the inn, Frederick Jonsuul knew so many deep secrets that he could single handedly topple the Songkram Empire, Phovezila and Corgath if he wanted to. All this being said, the Jonsuuls were in a unique position: the combination of secrets known by their family combined with their friendliness and the respect they commanded made them a high priority target for protection; no one would dare to raise a finger against the Jonsuuls (not even the Songkram), as almost everyone else who knew them would turn their blades on the offender(s) to protect the family.
People from all walks of life commune at the Dancing Dragon: mercenaries, thieves, royals, nobles, warriors; all were equal under the tavern’s roof.
