The Hearthlight Inn

The Hearthlight Inn began as a waystation for drovers and traders when the lane through the willow marsh was first widened. It was founded thirty years ago by Mira's parents, two halfling travelers who taught the town the recipes still used today. The inn survived a spring flood and a late-summer bandit raid; Mira rebuilt the east wing after the roof charred in that raid and added the stage to keep spirits high. Generations of travelers have left trinkets, recipes, and warning notes pinned to the noticeboard.

History

The Hearthlight Inn began as a waystation for drovers and traders when the lane through the willow marsh was first widened. It was founded thirty years ago by Mira's parents, two halfling travelers who taught the town the recipes still used today. The inn survived a spring flood and a late-summer bandit raid; Mira rebuilt the east wing after the roof charred in that raid and added the stage to keep spirits high. Generations of travelers have left trinkets, recipes, and warning notes pinned to the noticeboard.

Quirks

Mira keeps a small tame badger named Kettle who roams the common room and tucks napkins into pockets of sleeping patrons. The inn records tabs in a carved wooden ledger where customers tally their debts with a nail. Patrons toss a single copper into the hearthstone for safe travel; those who forget often find a folded scrap with a friendly warning left under their mug the next morning.

Lore

Locals say the original hearthstone came from a hill once thought sacred to an old road spirit. Superstitious patrons toss a copper into the cracked stone before a journey for luck. Old women in the village whisper that the inn's kettle occasionally sings when a traveler destined for something important sleeps beneath its smoke. The inn is considered neutral ground for local guilds, which keeps it a good place for deals and whispered bargains.
