The Waning Lantern

The Waning Lantern was built on the bones of a minor shrine to a dusk-fey patron centuries ago. It grew from a modest watering hole to a waystation for planar travelers when the then-owner gifted shelter to a wandering eladrin scout. Over the years, city expansion and a half-forgotten treaty sealed the small gate under the foundation; the inn became a hub for those who trafficked in stories and small magics. Economic decline and a string of bad winters left the building robust but run-down. Maris inherited it after a violent, enigmatic fire took the previous proprietor and has run it with a mixture of care and secrecy ever since.
