The Hearth of the Wayfarer

The Hearth of the Wayfarer began as a roadside smithy nearly a century ago. During a harsh winter, the smith opened his workshop to stranded travelers and served them onion broth beside the forge. His descendants gradually added rooms, a stable, and a proper kitchen. The current innkeeper still keeps the original smithing anvil in the cellar, though it is now used mostly to mend buckles, horseshoes, and adventurers' damaged gear.

History

The Hearth of the Wayfarer began as a roadside smithy nearly a century ago. During a harsh winter, the smith opened his workshop to stranded travelers and served them onion broth beside the forge. His descendants gradually added rooms, a stable, and a proper kitchen. The current innkeeper still keeps the original smithing anvil in the cellar, though it is now used mostly to mend buckles, horseshoes, and adventurers' damaged gear.

Quirks

The inn's fire never fully dies, even when no wood has been added for hours. The house cat, Brindle, hisses at empty corners and refuses to enter the cellar. Whenever someone tells a deliberate lie in the common room, a spoon or tankard gives a soft metallic chime. The innkeeper claims this is merely old metal settling, though regular patrons clearly disagree.

Lore

The inn is known along the old trade road as neutral ground. Merchants, village elders, traveling priests, and adventurers commonly settle disputes here because the house has never knowingly broken a guest's confidence. A faded wooden shield above the fireplace bears the emblem of a long-forgotten knightly order, whose members supposedly protected the road from bandits and worse things in the surrounding woods.
