Type: inn/tavern
Location: Moonshade
Proprietor: Rocco

The Blue Boar Inn is the only tavern in Moonshade on Serpent Isle, doubling as an inn with several rooms for guests. It appears in Ultima VII Part Two.

Description[edit]

This inn shares its name with the Blue Boar Tavern in Britannia, most likely inheriting it from the original Blue Boar Tavern that existed in the Sosarian city of Moon prior to the migration to Serpent Isle. Most likely, some from the family that owned it decided to leave Britannia. The inn is the place where the mundanes and lesser mages of Moonshade meet – all of the higher-ranked mages refused to set foot in it. Besides food and drink, the inn offers rooms and music played by a band of automatons.

At the time of the Avatar’s arrival, the tavern was run by Rocco and his automaton companion, Petra. It proved to be the place the Avatar would stay the most while in Moonshade. Sadly, when Shamino the Anarch later attacked Moonshade, Rocco was killed and the inn demolished, ending the legacy.

Lore[edit]

I politely told her my name and that I was gathering information about every town on Serpent Isle. She looked me up and down for a moment, then told me that the Blue Boar Inn, the source of local gossip and news, was across the street. Pothos added that I shall able to find at least one person there who could help me. I thanked them and left the shop.
The Blue Boar Inn was bustling. The barkeep was a surly little man who called himself Rocco. He took my order and I made myself comfortable at a small table. When my supper arrived I found myself staring at the strangest barmaid I had ever seen. It, or rather she, was an automaton. She said her name was Petra and if I needed anything I shall let her know.
