The Lantern and Lute

The Lantern and Lute was opened fifteen years ago by Branwen Marris, a former traveling minstrel who settled at the crossroads between three market towns. Built on the foundation of an older coaching house, it became a favored stop for merchants and small bands of adventurers. During a border skirmish ten years ago the inn sheltered refugees and its cellar held the town militia's supplies for a week. Since then the inn has been known for steady hospitality, modest discretion, and the carved oak sign that marks the road.

History

The Lantern and Lute was opened fifteen years ago by Branwen Marris, a former traveling minstrel who settled at the crossroads between three market towns. Built on the foundation of an older coaching house, it became a favored stop for merchants and small bands of adventurers. During a border skirmish ten years ago the inn sheltered refugees and its cellar held the town militia's supplies for a week. Since then the inn has been known for steady hospitality, modest discretion, and the carved oak sign that marks the road.

Quirks

The inn is never truly quiet during the first hour after dusk because Branwen sings a short wandering tune that seems to put patrons at ease. A fat, opinionated cat named Ledger sits by the cash box and will climb into the lap of anyone who seems likely to tip well.

Lore

Locals say the inn sits astride an old ley line, which is why performers feel inspired on the stage and why some find their dreams especially vivid after a night in the quiet room. Superstitious farmers leave small offerings of grain at the back step on harvest mornings to keep the lantern lit and the Lute in tune. Travelers from the coastal towns speak of a 'lantern light' omen meaning a safe night, and many sailors and river folk make a point to stop here when coming inland.
