 The largest attraction is the fighting ring that Gerald maintains. Six (6) wooden posts are driven into the floor and rope is tied between then to keep the spectators from entering during a fight. The rules are simple: each fighter puts up a purse that is paid to the winner after the house takes its ten percent (10%) cut, no magic only contests of fists and steel, the house gets a twenty percent (20%) cut on any bets - anyone caught cheating the house is banned for life from The Shining Blade.
-In Y462 [[people:Xarth]] started up a Fight Club that met at the tavern just after high sun. It was not a for the purposes of betting; although many people in the club went to the twice-nightly fights. It was instead a gathering of people wanting to improve their own skills in battle. The most well known member of the club, aside from Xarth himself, was [[people:Merrick Stonearm]] blood-cousin of [[atlas:western dwarves#Impirrick]] [[people:Farnath Carne Stonearm]]. The club did not last long as the [[creatures:demon]] and [[lore:Reavers]] invasion of 462 made the club unnecessary.

 The fight ring is near the southern wall, opposite of the two stone hearths that Gerald had constructed shortly after establishing the tavern.

+Later in that same year, War-Leader [[people:Aranion]] forcibly removed everyone from the tavern when the city was besieged by both a demon and Reaver army. He used the large tavern as the headquarters for the elven army he brought from [[atlas:Ellendar]]. Although Gerald complained to anyone that would listen his pleas yielded no results. Baron [[people:Donat Lange]], Lord Marshall of Bornheim, needed the soldiers Aranion provided and Gerald's tavern paled in comparison.
