Locals call the inn the Hearthlight because of the lantern with a green glass pane that hangs over the door. Folk say the light keeps bitter cold and petty misfortune from settling on those who pass beneath it. Superstition holds that if a guest leaves a small token by the hearth and asks a simple question aloud, the inn will 'answer' within three nights, usually by way of a helpful stranger or unexpected coin. The story likely began when the original founder helped a lost child find their family and was repaid in friendship and trade.
