The Hearthward Inn

The Hearthward Inn was founded twenty-five years ago by Marta's mother as a shelter for wayfarers crossing the boglands. Originally a single-room cottage with a communal hearth, the inn expanded when the trade route became busy. Over the years it survived a small raid by border bandits and a harsh winter famine; Marta earned the inn by helping drive off brigands and later bought it from her ailing mother.

History

The Hearthward Inn was founded twenty-five years ago by Marta's mother as a shelter for wayfarers crossing the boglands. Originally a single-room cottage with a communal hearth, the inn expanded when the trade route became busy. Over the years it survived a small raid by border bandits and a harsh winter famine; Marta earned the inn by helping drive off brigands and later bought it from her ailing mother.

Quirks

A black iron kettle above the hearth is always kept simmering on low; newcomers who drop a copper into it for good luck claim small favors from Marta later. The inn's dog, a brindle mutt named Gnash, snores loudly in the common room and is known for stealing unattended socks and coin purses from pockets in plain sight.

Lore

Locals tell of a hidden lane near the inn that only appears on misty mornings and leads to an old watchtower where a ghostly sentry still paces. Superstitious folk believe dropping a copper into the hearth kettle on All Hallows grants safe passage for the next three nights. The inn is known in surrounding villages as a place where small mercies are traded as freely as ale—wounds are patched, secrets kept, and strangers occasionally find the help they need to begin something new.
