Lif Melraen

Lif, according to Volothamp Geddarm, was the former barkeep for Trollskull Manor for many years, starting work there as a child. When the owner bankrupted and saught to sell the Manor for land, he used his life’s savings to purchase and save the tavern, running it for several years and making it a beloved fixture in the alley where it earned its namesake.

This success came to a sudden and tragic end when the tavern was struck by an explosion that destroyed the building. His ghost has since haunted the tavern, causing the property’s value to drop significantly. It ended up in Volo’s hands as he was researching his next work, Volo’s Guide to Spirits and Spectres and the deed has since been transferred to the players.
