Lizard Kicks Inn

[AndrewTBP]

I’m looking for information about the Lizard Kicks Inn in Balmyr tribe territory. It’s on the maps in Lands of RuneQuest: Dragon Pass but not in the text, and it’s mentioned once by Jeff here in the forums. I haven’t found anything in my older sources or the Well of Daliath. 
Does anyone have any suggestions about it? Thanks in advance!

(There's nothing written about it in Greg's notes either.) It sits in the middle of the Wildcat Clan territory at the base of Wild Mountain, which has the only (minor) Yinkin temple in Sartar. It's not near any roads or paths. Putting it altogether, it's the Wildcat clan village, there's a small inn that receives small passing trade for those on pilgrimage to the mountain. Note that Lizard kicks is 1930s slang for lizard skin shoes, so who knows where Greg got crazy names from, but this was from the Marx Brother's script writer, S. J. Perelman. So hanging behind the bar is an ancient set of bolo lizard boots with a leap spell (per W&E 125).

Just like with everything else Glorantha, it's whatever you want it to be. YGUMV and all that.

Even Geo's or Gimpy's is what you, the referee, want to make them.

That plaintive yowwwl!! was the sound of a thousand cat-sites becoming Non-Canonical.

Huh!  Marx Bros. movie reruns, the equivalent of student TV in the '60s?

Thank you! I’ve found the Wildcat Clan in a Clan Map of Central Sartar post on The Well of Daliath by Jeff.
