Noble Pretender

RecipePaFp. 1252014

Many con artists and swindlers pass through Luskan. Those who chance their hand in the wrong venue or move on the wrong mark often don't make it out of the town. One story tells of a man named Gannis Redthumb, a self-proclaimed fugitive aristocrat from Damara seeking safe passage from his persecutors. He plied the patrons of the One-Eyed Jax with fancy drinks and told his new friends that he was carrying magic pits and seeds for winter peaches and strawberries that could grow in bitter snow and feed the hungry through the dead months. Gannis found many potential buyers for his magic fruit—he hooked their interest over strong drinks that loosened their purse strings. Unfortunately for him, the One-Eyed Jax shares some customers with the Low Lantern in Waterdeep. One day, a quiet kenku arrived in town and perched unnoticed in the shadows of the bar. The next day, Gannis was pulled out of the bay in a fishing net.

A drink inspired by Gannis Redthumb's misadventure is still served at the Jax, a reminder to all patrons that the games they play beyond these doors are not tolerated inside them.
