The Adventurer's Rest
A framed rectangle sign hangs prominently above the porch, crowned by a stained-glass transom depicting a dragon coiling around the tavern’s name, welcoming tired travelers stepping off at the adjacent carriage in, Glen Hope Stead, stop before they venture out back to the outdoor toilets.
Inside, the rustic walls are adorned with colorful paintings and decorative painted plates that catch the warm glow of the hearth. Commoners and local drunks crowd around wooden tables, shouting over intense games of dice, while a mysterious fortune teller reads palm lines in a shadowed corner. Behind the bar, the owner's child weaves between tables delivering brimming tankards, leaving the silent bartender to scrutinize every single coin paid with a razor-sharp, distrustful glare.
