Sindarin's Crossing: The Sindarin Anchor

The Sindarin Anchor began as a weatherbeaten riverside post built by a former bargeman named Sinda, who ran a pair of barges and offered shelter to crews and travelers. Over three generations the building expanded with donated planks and a reclaimed anchor that hangs above the door. The inn survived two floods, a barge collision that crushed its north wall, and a brief occupation by river thieves before the current keeper drove them out. The Anchor grew into Sindarin Crossing's natural crossroads for trade and rumor, its table a place where deals are struck, grudges are renewed, and bargains begin.
