Thornfell's Rest

Thornfell's Rest was opened thirty years ago by Miran's parents as a one-room alehouse on the Highfen road. The inn grew with passing trade and survived a bandit raid that burned two neighboring farms. Miran took over after returning from years as a mercenary, reforged the roof, and added the second story. Locals say the inn once served as a safe waypoint for scouts of the old border watch; some of the stonework below the cellar bears the watchman's mark.

History

Thornfell's Rest was opened thirty years ago by Miran's parents as a one-room alehouse on the Highfen road. The inn grew with passing trade and survived a bandit raid that burned two neighboring farms. Miran took over after returning from years as a mercenary, reforged the roof, and added the second story. Locals say the inn once served as a safe waypoint for scouts of the old border watch; some of the stonework below the cellar bears the watchman's mark.

Quirks

The inn keeps a greying tomcat named Brim who curls on any lap that looks too brave. Miran rings a small brass bell before closing; those who ignore it are fined a copper. Everyone seems to know one another's true names except the merchant envoy. Miran marks favored patrons by knotting a crimson thread into their linen if they have earned the inn's trust.

Lore

Locals tell a dozen guesses about the stone beneath Thornfell's Rest. Some claim the cellar sits above an old watch chamber used by the border watch in the age of wood kings. Others insist a pious hermit once sanctified the ground, leaving a ward that keeps vermin away and keens low for lost travelers. The inn's Thornfell stew recipe is said to be a holdover from those who kept watch; herbs in the pot are reputed to calm the mind for making hard choices.
