Salty Side Inn

The Salty Side Inn in the lakeside city of Vespera has a rich history deeply intertwined with the maritime culture of the region. It was established several generations ago by Captain Aldric Stormrider, a seasoned sailor who settled in Vespera after retiring from a life of seafaring adventures. He wanted to create a gathering place for fellow sailors, travelers, and locals alike, where stories could be shared, friendships forged, and spirits lifted.
The inn's emblem, proudly displayed on its sign, depicts a majestic ship sailing across a tranquil sea under a golden sunset. It serves as a symbol of Captain Aldric's seafaring legacy and his love for the open waters. The logo is intricately carved and painted, catching the eye of passersby and drawing them into the warmth and joviality that awaits within the Salty Side Inn.
Running the establishment today is Captain Aldric's granddaughter, Astrid Stormrider. With her inherited love for the sea and a fiery spirit, Astrid carries on her family's legacy, providing a welcoming haven for weary travelers and locals alike. She is known for her charismatic personality, genuine hospitality, and extensive knowledge of the city's history and legends.
One of the vibrant and lively wenches working at the Salty Side Inn is Lila, a vivacious young woman with a contagious laughter and a penchant for storytelling. With a quick wit and a friendly demeanor, Lila ensures that guests feel at home and entertained during their stay. Her radiant smile and genuine care for others make her a beloved member of the inn's staff, and her ability to remember every patron's name and favorite drink has become legendary among the regulars.
Together, Astrid, Lila, and the rest of the inn's staff create an atmosphere of camaraderie and merriment, making the Salty Side Inn not just a place to rest one's head, but a vibrant hub of community and adventure in the bustling city of Vespera.
