The Old World Inn
The Old World Inn was the first proper installment in The Bastion since the Calamity and is the only reason most people visit. It was named for how starkly it reminds folks of what was lost when Aegon fell, with the livelihood of the Inn starkly contrasting the cold quiet of the ruins around it. With only a small dormitory and some tents for rent it is a bit presumptuously named "Inn", but the wine is strong enough for few to care. It has become a mixing pot for people of all kinds and creeds; from religious zealots to intimidating monstrosities and everything in between. So far as the Old World Inn's owner Beraht is concerned everyone and everything is welcome, just don't break anything!
This Inn was cobbled together in the most stable area of the ruins and is one of the only spots in The Bastion that you can feel safe from falling rubble. Although Beraht Dromana, the Old World Inn Tavern Keep is the foremost owner, Kohdama the Blind Seer has a partial stake in the business as well, being that this structure was once Kohdama's home before being converted into the Tavern. Within this space there are a number of different spots to interact with one another:

The Regulars: This is a group of tables near the servers on the main floor, and they all have a great view of the dance floor. These spots are popular amongst return visitors. Anyone looking to get refills fast and enjoy all the atmosphere the Inn has to offer should sit here.
