History

Established three generations ago on the corner of Lantern Street and Stonegate Way, the Cornerstone Lantern began as a coachman's lodging and grew into a city hub as the neighborhood expanded. Marta took over after her predecessor vanished in debt; she paid off the house with a mixture of cunning, card games, and favors. Over the years the tavern accumulated a reputation as a gateway for traveling adventurers, mercenaries, and musicians.

Quirks

The tavern's hearth smoke is scented with pine boughs, so regulars often say 'the Cornerstone's burning' to mean it's crowded. A brass footbolt set into the floor beneath one table rattles when certain coins are tapped in a pattern—a discreet signal Marta uses to call her deputy.

Lore

Local rumor holds that one of the tavern's foundation stones came from a ruined watchtower of the Old March — some say a spirit flickers in the hearth on cold nights. The name 'Cornerstone' also doubles as a code among certain guilds: meeting at the lantern means a truce is declared for parley. The city watch unofficially tolerates the Lantern's gray dealings because many informants pass through its doors.
