I was reading Volo's Guide to Cormyr recently (as in 10 minutes ago) and I thought I'd share the description of the Wailing Wheel.
The Wailing Wheel 2/5 for Cost (indicating low cost), 2/5 for Quality (indicating low quality). Situated in the southwestern angle where Windever Street and the Promenade meet and facing the Horngate, the Wheel stands at the other end of the same block fronting the Promenade as the Six Candles. The Wheel is the quietest, least known of Suzail's large inns--and for good reason. It's always cold and dirty, the dining room fare is meager, and the service is almost nonexistent. Still, prices are low, especially if you take the three-nighter, a deal which yields up a suite of rooms for 5 gp plus 1 sp more per beast stabled and per person (to cover meal costs). And the place is very well built, so you hear little noise from other guests snoring or celebrating in the wee hours. If you want cheap lodgings where you're left alone to sleep in peace, and you don't care about the food, or--gods look down--you like greasy stews, bland cheese melted over stale toast, and watery ale, then this may be the place for you. Its size means one can almost always get rooms on the floor and side of the inn one desires unless there's something unusual going on in Suzail, such as a fair, festival, or trade gathering. The Wheel is owned by the merchant Thentias, a calm, calculating investor and landlord who owns many buildings in Suzail and in the Sembian city of Yhaunn. If you want to rent or buy a house, warehouse, or shop in Suzail, a simple word to one of the members of the Wheel's faceless ever-changing staff27 can bring you a swift meeting with Ramkzorn Sharlin or Alasgar Thurym, the two Suzailian agents of Thentias. 27:Thentias must pay poorly. Folk working at the inn don't seem to last more than a season. |
