The Crossings

The Crossings began as a riverside public house catering to ferrymen and local millers. As Wyrms Crossing became the favored bridge for caravans approaching Baldur's Gate, Mirelle Voss, a devout cleric of Waukeen, purchased and rebuilt the site into a refined establishment. She added secure warehousing and stables and petitioned local authorities to station guards to protect merchant traffic. Over a decade the tavern became a waypoint for caravans, a parlor for visiting nobility, and a discreet place to conduct trade that merchants did not wish to do within the city walls. The Crossings has changed hands only once, and Mirelle remains both proprietor and spiritual steward.

History

The Crossings began as a riverside public house catering to ferrymen and local millers. As Wyrms Crossing became the favored bridge for caravans approaching Baldur's Gate, Mirelle Voss, a devout cleric of Waukeen, purchased and rebuilt the site into a refined establishment. She added secure warehousing and stables and petitioned local authorities to station guards to protect merchant traffic. Over a decade the tavern became a waypoint for caravans, a parlor for visiting nobility, and a discreet place to conduct trade that merchants did not wish to do within the city walls. The Crossings has changed hands only once, and Mirelle remains both proprietor and spiritual steward.

Quirks

The magical lights inside sometimes shift hue to match the mood of the room and are known to dim during whispered secrets. The Crossings stamps every merchant receipt with a small coin-shaped sigil that patrons find brings small luck with negotiations. The house hound, a lean river hound named Coin, has a habit of retrieving small metal objects and occasionally brings back more than rings. The owner rings a brass bell once each dusk to bless incoming cargo and close the warehouse doors.

Lore

The Crossings sits at the Rivington approach to Wyrms Crossing, the stone bridge named by traveling merchants for a legendary wyrm sighting generations past. In the eyes of the faithful of Waukeen, the bridge is a nexus of trade and blessing. Merchants arriving at the Crossings follow an old practice of offering a coin to the alcove in the name of safe passage. The tavern is known among trade houses as an insured point for high-value transfer; some call it the unofficial customs house outside the city. Nobles and visiting dignitaries prefer the Crossings when they need discretion away from the theater of Baldur's Gate social life.
