The Hearth & Half-Moon

The Hearth & Half-Moon opened twenty-two years ago as a coaching inn for merchants and pilgrims. Built from salvaged timbers after a storm, it earned its name from the crescent window above the common room. Marna took over ten years ago, turning it into a cozy refuge favored by middle-class townsfolk and itinerant adventurers. It has weathered a bandit raid, a minor fire (the northern wing was rebuilt), and a scandal involving a disguised noble that ended with a late-night duel in the stable.

History

The Hearth & Half-Moon opened twenty-two years ago as a coaching inn for merchants and pilgrims. Built from salvaged timbers after a storm, it earned its name from the crescent window above the common room. Marna took over ten years ago, turning it into a cozy refuge favored by middle-class townsfolk and itinerant adventurers. It has weathered a bandit raid, a minor fire (the northern wing was rebuilt), and a scandal involving a disguised noble that ended with a late-night duel in the stable.

Quirks

The inn maintains a 'Half-Moon Promise': anyone who sings the old traveler’s ballad in the stage nook is given a free bowl of stew. Marna polishes one mismatched brass coin on the bar each morning — patrons say it brings small luck to pockets that receive it.

Lore

Locals say the inn sits on the crossroads of several old ley lines, which explains the odd luck some patrons have when they gamble under the half-moon light. An old verse carved behind the bar — 'Warm hearth, wayward moon; strangers rest, and fortunes tune' — is often recited by those hoping for favor. The innkeeper keeps a small, plain wooden box behind the bar said to contain 'tokens of safe passage' given by grateful travelers; rumor holds one is a chipped charm that once belonged to a famed traveling mage.
