The king takes Lord Eddard Stark to hunt for wild aurochs.Ĭatelyn Stark and Ser Rodrik Cassel stay at the busy inn on their way back to Winterfell from King's Landing. Whilst travelling south to King's Landing, the retinue of King Robert I Baratheon stay at the inn, though it only has rooms for less than a third of the royal party. Septon Meribald sometimes stays at the Inn on his journeys across the Riverlands. Catelyn Stark used to stay at the inn as a child, when travelling with her father, Lord Hoster Tully. The river moved, however, and so the inn lost its name. There was also a local ferry, which would carry people over to Whitewalls and Lord Harroway's Town. The inn became known as the River Inn, because half of it was built over the Trident, and it was said that guests could cast their line out of the window and catch fish. Eventually, one of the dragon's heads washed up on the Quiet Isle, red with rust. When Lord Darry, an ardent supporter of King Daeron II Targaryen, spied the inn's sign, he grew so angry at its resemblance to the enemy's sigil, that he cut it down, hacked it to pieces, and threw what remained into the river. The sign used to clank a lot in the wind, and so the inn eventually became known as the Clanking Dragon.ĭuring the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Daemon Blackfyre opted to take a black dragon for his sigil. Jon crafted a new sign for the inn, a three-headed dragon, wrought of iron. The inn eventually passed into the hands of Ser Jon Heddle, a retired adventurer, who took up metalworking in his old age. After one of the innkeeps constructed the bell tower, it then became known as the Bellringer Inn. King Jaehaerys and his wife, Queen Alysanne Targaryen, once stayed at the inn, and it was renamed the Two Crowns in their honour. The current iteration was constructed during the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, at the same time as the building of the Kingsroad. The outside of the inn has both a stable and a blacksmith's forge.
The rooms upstairs have featherbeds, and some of them also have hearths.
The common room is long and drafty, with kegs at one end, and a hearth at the other.
Its south wing is built upon pilings that rise over a bed of weeds, under which the Trident once used to flow. The inn is three stories tall, with chimneys and turrets made of white stone. The land it lies in used to belong to House Darry. It sits north of the Trident, near the Ruby Ford.
The Crossroads Inn is located in the Riverlands, at the crossroad formed by the Kingsroad, the River Road, and the High Road.
