Not far from the Red Rose stands the White Boar. This rough drinking establishment is similar to others frequented by sailors but with one important difference. Over the years, the Boar has gained a reputation as a hiring place for those desperate or foolish enough to leave the river. Since this means going east into the Dark Lands or north into Troll Country, such a prospect is almost certain death. Still, Praag is no longer safe, and adventurers are known for their desperation and foolishness, so the merchants who come to the Boar eventually find what they're looking for.[1a]
