The Elderberry Inn
Rundown
The Inn/Tavern of The Hamlet of Inverness, run by elderly human who survived the orcish wars as a lad, and has been one of the pillars of the community. This tavern/Inn offers a place for the locals to hang out after a long day's work. Despite being capable of providing residence to guests, only few occupy these rooms, and thus many have become storage. The building is mostly a remnant from times long gone.Description
Green awnings and flowering ivy tendrils adorn the outside of the squat little inn, and warm laughter burbles out through an open window. The brightly colored sign above the doorway proudly proclaims it to be The Elderberry Inn and depicts a hand-painted berry dangling from a stem. The wood panels of the exterior are weather worn but clean—an indication of the love and care with which this place is maintained. The smell of roasting potatoes and fresh ale wafts toward you when you push through the door. Logs crackle in the oversized fireplace, lighting up the room with help of several wall sconces and a low-hanging chandelier. Bright woven tapestries hang along the walls and add a touch of color to the wooden interior, all showing signs of their age. The barkeep stands behind a counter to the left of the entrance, his warm smile contrasting his missing eye, the doorway to the kitchen open behind them.
