Wilbur Bristletoe, Owner

Wilbur Bristletoe, the jovial kendric proprietor of the Crooked Inn, sports a round, friendly face framed by an unkempt beard and tousled hair. His large belly is snugly ensconced beneath a well-worn leather apron, a testament to his culinary prowess and love for hearty meals. Despite his diminutive stature, Wilbur exudes an aura of warmth and hospitality, welcoming patrons with a twinkle in his eye and a ready smile. Quirk: Wilbur has a penchant for rhyming, often peppering his speech with playful verses and limericks, much to the amusement of his guests. Goal: Wilbur's ultimate goal is to transform the Crooked Inn into the most renowned establishment in all of Bridgeport, attracting travellers from far and wide with its delectable fare, cozy ambiance, and legendary hospitality. Close Friends: Wilbur Bristletoe maintains a small circle of friends outside of his work at the Crooked Inn, primarily consisting of other kendric and a few regular patrons of the tavern. They often gather for lively discussions, friendly competitions, and the occasional evening of storytelling and song. Despite his busy schedule running the inn, Wilbur values these friendships dearly and makes time to connect with his companions whenever possible. Secret: Contrary to his gregarious nature, Wilbur harbors a deep-seated fear of water, stemming from a childhood incident where he narrowly escaped drowning in a river. He goes to great lengths to avoid any situation involving large bodies of water, keeping his phobia carefully hidden from the prying eyes of his patrons and friends.

Saffron Pebbletoe, Entertainer

Saffron Pebbletoe is a vivacious entertainer at the inn, her long brown hair flowing as she sings, dances, and plays various instruments with finesse. Her face is adorned with a permanent blush, adding to her charm as she captivates the audience with her performances. Quirk: Gives nicknames to people (based on things like haircolor, bodyshape, their outfit, mustache etc.) Goal: Saffron dreams of living in a big house with her son, knowing this might never happen. Close Friends: Saffron's closest friends include Tansy Meadowbrook, the waitress at the inn, and Daffodil Puddlefoot, a fellow kendric entertainer who shares her passion for music and storytelling. Secret: Saffron conceals her son, born of a liaison with a noble of Bridgeport, with a trusted friend in Hollinda.

Tansy Meadowbrook, Waitress

Tansy Meadowbrook exudes warmth and hospitality with her perpetual smile and twinkling brown eyes. Her petite frame bustles about the tavern with grace and efficiency, her ponytail bouncing with each step. Quirk: Tansy has a peculiar habit of collecting interesting stones and pebbles, often keeping them tucked away in her apron pockets. She believes each stone holds a unique story and carries them as tokens of good luck. Goal: Tansy's ultimate goal, so she says, is to save enough coin from her work at the Crooked Inn to embark on her own journey of discovery. She dreams of traveling far and wide, seeking out new opportunities and forging her own path in the world. Geertruud Smallbottom is her hero, she has read all of her books. Close Friends: Outside of work, Tansy shares a close bond with a group of fellow kendric who meet regularly for storytelling and games of chance. They provide her with companionship and support as she nurtures her dreams of exploration. Secret: Currently, Tansy resides in a modest chamber within the confines of the inn. However, her heart yearns for something more - a quaint abode nestled amidst a blossoming garden, complete with fragrant flowers and flourishing apple trees.

Rollo Quickstep, Hunter

Rollo Quickstep, the seasoned hunter of Crooked Inn, has a weathered visage marked by graying hair, a testament to years spent amidst the wilderness. His days are often consumed by procuring essential ingredients for the inn's kitchen, ranging from mushrooms sourced in Floxville to the bounty of the forest. Yet, when his duties allow respite, he can be found either within the cozy confines of the inn or lounging outside, relishing a well-deserved pint. Quirk: Rollo has a peculiar way of naming the various animals and plants he encounters during his expeditions, assigning them whimsical titles based on their appearance or behavior. Goals: His goal remains shrouded in mystery, buried beneath layers of stoicism. While his closest companions may be the denizens of the forest, Rollo's heart is not impervious to forging connections with like-minded souls beyond the confines of his work. Close Friends: Though Rollo enjoys the camaraderie of his fellow innmates, his closest friend remains a reclusive herbalist named Cassandra dwelling in the nearby woods.

The map of Bridgeport, a harbour city located in the south of Farenia, showcases a maritime center characterized by vibrant activity and bustling trade. Unlike other cities in Farenia, Bridgeport's harbour opens onto a different sea, setting it apart and granting it a unique status.
