The Cornerstone Hearth

Founded shortly after the city's stone wall was completed, The Cornerstone Hearth sits where an old milestone once stood. For decades it has been the first stop for arriving laborers and the last for departing sailors. It survived a market fire twenty years ago when Marta's predecessor refused to abandon the cellar. The tavern has hosted musters, minor trials by coin, and the signing of numerous employer slips — it has long been part of the city's day-to-day life.

History

Founded shortly after the city's stone wall was completed, The Cornerstone Hearth sits where an old milestone once stood. For decades it has been the first stop for arriving laborers and the last for departing sailors. It survived a market fire twenty years ago when Marta's predecessor refused to abandon the cellar. The tavern has hosted musters, minor trials by coin, and the signing of numerous employer slips — it has long been part of the city's day-to-day life.

Quirks

Marta stamps a small clay 'mark of trust' into the underside of cups for tabs; regulars tap their mug on the table three times before speaking of contracts; a battered brass scale hangs by the door used to weigh lost coins found in coats.

Lore

Locals say the tavern's original cornerstone was laid with a small iron token bearing the city's seal; buried beneath the hearth is a scrap of an older foundation with a weathered rune no one quite understands. Some whisper that the founders used the building as a meeting place for a secret guild that kept order in the city before the watch existed. Old maps sometimes mark the site as 'Founders' Corner' though that name has faded from official charts.
