The Lanterned Lute

The inn was built thirty years ago by a retired watch captain who wanted a safe place for traders and militia. It survived a bandit raid fifteen years ago that burned part of the outer wall; the current wide hearth and many of the inn's reclaimed beams date from the rebuild. Over the last decade the inn gained a reputation as a waypoint for mid-tier adventurers after Mira arrived and began quietly organizing lodging and jobs for those passing through. The inn's private rooms became known as safe, if expensive, places to hide evidence, speak frankly, or plan a strike.

History

The inn was built thirty years ago by a retired watch captain who wanted a safe place for traders and militia. It survived a bandit raid fifteen years ago that burned part of the outer wall; the current wide hearth and many of the inn's reclaimed beams date from the rebuild. Over the last decade the inn gained a reputation as a waypoint for mid-tier adventurers after Mira arrived and began quietly organizing lodging and jobs for those passing through. The inn's private rooms became known as safe, if expensive, places to hide evidence, speak frankly, or plan a strike.

Quirks

A patched lute hangs above the hearth and someone always leaves a coin at its base on new moons. A small grey cat named Stitch curls on new guest's boots and will not leave until it is offered a scrap of meat. Mira stamps guests' ledger with colored wax; the color can be a veiled message to observant patrons.

Lore

Locals say the inn stands on the edge of an old watch post; stones under the cellar are older than the town. Some claim a short subterranean passage runs from the cellar toward the old road, used in times of siege. Others whisper a half-forgotten guild once used the inn as a meeting place, leaving behind coded marks carved into the floorboards under the main table.
