The Hearth & Half-Moon

Built nearly sixty years ago by a retired boatwright and his wife, The Hearth & Half-Moon began as a simple riverside alehouse. Over decades it expanded into a cozy inn when trade along the route increased. The half-moon emblem was stitched into the curtains by the boatwright's wife; tales say she once traded a silver trinket for a night's shelter for a mysterious stranger. The inn survived a flood two decades ago and was rebuilt with stronger beams — some say the beams still carry scars from that storm.

History

Built nearly sixty years ago by a retired boatwright and his wife, The Hearth & Half-Moon began as a simple riverside alehouse. Over decades it expanded into a cozy inn when trade along the route increased. The half-moon emblem was stitched into the curtains by the boatwright's wife; tales say she once traded a silver trinket for a night's shelter for a mysterious stranger. The inn survived a flood two decades ago and was rebuilt with stronger beams — some say the beams still carry scars from that storm.

Quirks

Mira keeps a half-moon token above the hearth. Patrons will subtly nudge it when speaking of secrets. The stage has a small trapdoor that opens into a locked cellar used for storage — often smelled but rarely seen by most guests.

Lore

Locals speak of the 'Half-Moon Pact,' an old agreement among smugglers and riverfolk who once used the inn as a neutral ground. The mural behind the bar is rumored to contain a cipher: a sequence of waves and moons that, when read correctly, points to hidden storage caches used during lean winters. While much has faded into rumor, older patrons still use certain phrases tied to the pact, and the burned sigil appearing on outlying barns matches the mural's secret mark.
