This organization is one of the oldest of all the guilds of Waterdeep, and one of the most relaxed. Formed long ago as a means of protection (all the innkeepers together hiring a group of heavily-armed bodyguards that none of them could individually afford to stop drunken tavern-goers from returning to inns and getting into fights or destroying property, and to control noisy activity late at night), the guild now functions primarily as a means of sharing information. News of thieves, con-artists, brawlers, mages with urges to let off spells, and other "problem patrons" who are making the rounds from inn to inn is shared among members, speedily. The guild also arranges discount prices on ale, linens, laundering, and so on by placing orders in bulk for its members. Once every nine nights, the Fellowship Hall is opened by the Master as an inn - with dining and sleeping facilities - for members only, so that they can enjoy the comforts of an inn without being the hosts.

Notable Members

Felstan Spindrivver Innkeep of the Cliffwatch Inn The owner and keep of the Cliffwatch is among the most-involved of the guild's members, helping to organize the bulk discounts and even pooling funds to hire extra guards for big festivals and the like, dividing those guards among guild inns in the city.
