The Trough is a tavern of ill repute located in the southernmost reaches of the town of Solace, and is frequented by criminals and all manner of rogues. The tavern boasts a sign of a pig wallowing in swill, and is built on the ground. The building is set between two large Vallenwood Trees and the serving staff of the Trough are well trained to turn a blind eye to any nefarious activity that goes on inside their walls.
The original tavern known as the Trough long since burnt down, and numerous versions of the inn also burnt down. Each time the inn was rebuilt by money supplied by hill dwarves, since it was one of the few establishments in Abanasinia where dwarven spirits were readily available. One time that it was burned down was during the Chaos War by the Knights of Takhisis. As of 393 AC it hadn't been rebuilt.
