King's Hill
Best known for its taverns, like the Brothers of Justice, the Fiery Gourd near Hearthfire Tower, and the Strawberry Punch.
Hearthfire Tower was founded many years ago by a circle of wizards who were deeply interested in dragons. The tallest building in King's Hill, some say that actual dragon bones were used in its foundations. The wizards' plot to create more dragons went badly awry when they were betrayed by the very dragons with whom they were allied, and the eggs they had created were lost. Today, Hearthfire Tower is primarily a school for children, and arguably the best one outside of the capital, though its adult teachers also perform a fair amount of magical research.
The Fiery Gourd is a higher-class tavern famous for its mixed drinks, particularly its namesake, an intensely sour drink which is lit on fire briefly before serving. Most of their drinks are strong and the atmosphere usually stays jovial. It's one of the town's major watering holes, and typically where teenagers studying at Hearthfire Tower get their first “real” drink.
Strawberry Punch tavern is geared towards children, serving a lot of sweetened stews, chicken, and sweet breads.
The town was primarily a wilderness fortification until it got its name about 150 years ago during a war of succession. The 13-year-old prince who won the decisive battle here was crowned King Tarin III in the town itself.
