Architecture
The Seafarer's Rest is a three-story, weathered wooden tavern that has stood the test of time. Its exterior is adorned with nautical decorations, such as fishing nets, seashells, and lanterns made from old ship parts. The sign above the door features an intricately carved ship in full sail, symbolizing the tavern's deep connection to the sea.
Inside, the tavern is a cacophony of sounds and sights. The wooden floors creak underfoot, and the walls are covered with maps, ship wheels, and various maritime memorabilia. The air is thick with the scent of salty sea air, ale, and hearty meals being prepared in the kitchen. The tavern is dimly lit by a mix of lanterns and candles, creating a warm and inviting, albeit chaotic, atmosphere.
The main room is filled with long wooden tables and benches, where sailors and townsfolk alike gather to share stories, drink, and enjoy live music. A small stage in one corner often hosts local musicians and bards, providing entertainment that ranges from lively sea shanties to soulful ballads. The bar, a sturdy oak structure, is always busy, with the tavern's owner, Captain Bran Whitlock, a retired sailor with a grizzled appearance and a hearty laugh, personally serving drinks and regaling patrons with tales of his adventures at sea.
In addition to the main room, the Seafarer's Rest has a few private booths and an upstairs area with smaller tables for those seeking a slightly quieter environment. The upstairs windows offer a view of the harbor, where ships can be seen coming and going, adding to the tavern's maritime charm.
The third floor of The Seafarer's Rest serves as the sleeping quarters of this bustling inn, providing a haven for weary sailors, travelers, and even a few long-term residents. The atmosphere here contrasts with the lively chaos of the lower floors, offering a quieter, more restful environment.
It is accessed via a sturdy wooden staircase located near the back of the tavern. The stairs creak underfoot, a testament to the tavern's long history. Upon reaching the top, guests are greeted by a dimly lit corridor lined with wooden doors on either side. The corridor is narrow, but the walls are adorned with soft, faded tapestries depicting maritime scenes, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to the space.
The third floor features a variety of rooms to accommodate different needs and budgets.
