Darujhistan

The Phoenix Inn was a popular haunt and drinking den in the Daru District[1] of Darujhistan used regularly by Kruppe and his friends.

It was described as an old building made of rough stone with a poorly lit entrance and yellow light bleeding through pitted and dirty windows. The tattered wooden sign which hung misaligned above the door, bore the faded image of a bird dead on its back with feet jutting upward. Steps led up to the door which had some kind of railing.[2][3][4][5]

Upon entering, there was a table near the far wall, beneath a gallery, which was where Kruppe and his friends mostly used to sit. The room also had a bar and drinks might be served in mugs or pewter tankards. The Inn stocked Gredfallan Ale.[6][7] The counter was made of wood and there was a dark, narrow kitchen attached to the main room.[8][9]

The Inn had at least one upstairs floor with rooms which were occupied either long or short-term by guests.[10]

Just down the street was a competing inn called the Peacock.[11]

Phoenix Inn Regulars[12][13][]

In Gardens of the Moon[]

Crokus Younghand was pursued by unknown Assassins and used the Inn as refuge.[15] The same night, Rallick Nom was met by Ocelot just outside the Inn and went inside after that meeting.[16] Later, during the same night, Kruppe, Murillio and Crokus were playing cards whilst Coll was asleep in a chair. When Rallick, who had slept in a room on the first floor, came down in the morning he found the others still playing.[17]

Kruppe was followed to the Phoenix Inn by Sorry. He stopped at the Inn's doorway seemingly to ask Chert to prevent her from entering behind him. Chert made the mistake of attempting not to simply stop but to sexually assault Sorry, who killed him by stabbing him in the eye, then entered the Inn[18]

In Toll the Hounds[]

Meese was now the Inn's proprietor.[19]

On the night of the Gedderone Fête, Kruppe secured the services of Scorch and Leff while playing a game of chance at the Inn. The game was interrupted when Irilta dragged in a badly bleeding Murillio, whom she had found outside. Kruppe sent off Coll to bring back Mallet, the Bridgeburner healer to save Murillio's life.[20][21]

Crokus returned to the Inn from Seven Cities on the same night that Rallick Nom returned from his lengthy stay in Finnest House. The two stumbled upon each other outside the Inn's front door and a misunderstanding led to a bloody fight. Crokus dragged the wounded assassin inside for care, and while his return was feted by his friends, Rallick joined Murillio to recover upstairs.[22][23]
