Hobbithole

Hobbithole sits at the center of Claywell, carved into a grassy knoll that once sheltered a family of hole-dwelling halflings generations ago. The structure was a true hillside home with round windows and a shallow set of doors. Years ago Barth Grooks, a halfling who once dreamed of the stage, purchased and renovated the place into the village's only tavern. Barth kept as much of the original charm as possible: the doors remain surprisingly small and the curving corridors and low ceilings still speak of its older life. Over the decades the inn became Claywell's informal town hall, a place for hauling in news from the sea and settling disputes over a hot stew and a mug of Holebrew.
