The Hearth & Half-Moon

The Hearth & Half-Moon has served as the village's center for two decades. Founded by Marta's late husband, a retired watchman, it began as a single-room alehouse and grew when Marta saved enough from coins and favors to add rooms and a stable. The inn has been a refuge during small raids and a place where local disputes were once settled over ale.

History

The Hearth & Half-Moon has served as the village's center for two decades. Founded by Marta's late husband, a retired watchman, it began as a single-room alehouse and grew when Marta saved enough from coins and favors to add rooms and a stable. The inn has been a refuge during small raids and a place where local disputes were once settled over ale.

Quirks

A brass bell engraved with a half-moon hangs above the bar; when rent is late or a coin is unexpectedly found, Marta rings it and offers a 'blessing' (a free small bread or ale). Patrons toss simple charms and ribbons into a jar above the hearth; it's considered good luck to steal one without swapping another.

Lore

Locals say the inn's half-moon bell was forged from a horseshoe found beneath the roots of an ancient willow outside town; superstitious folk claim the bell wards off bad luck on moonlit nights. Travelers tell tales of a hidden cellar beneath the inn used long ago by smugglers — although the current cellar is used for root storage, older beams show signs of secret hinges.
