The Lonely Mystic
The Lonely Mystic is a Tavern style Inn, located on Northern Isle - near Optox not on a well-worn trail. A traveller heads towards the settlement of Stern, halfway there they turn West to the tip of the first cape.
MISS TICK
Miss Taefanna Tick runs the tavern. A Tiefling in her fifities, Miss Tick is a mystic and rogue, with Quoroplatea.Taefenna studied at The Gauntlet Vault Academy. Occasionally, she returns to Stern, to take lessons.
She has grey short spikey thin layer of hair, and two different coloured eyes (Heterochromia) - her iris in her left pale orangey brown and the other one is a watery blue. Taefenna's skin has a weak pigment and appears to be a silvery pale grey colour. Her short twisted horns are a silvery pale grey with a bluish tinge colour.
BUILDING
The Tavern is a slim building, that is three stories high. It is placed within the trees, and not easy to spot from the sea of Scuttle Bay or from the trail, until very close (200 feet).Around the tavern is a wild garden of flowering plants and herbs that holds four beehives and a dozen citrus trees. A fenced yard is on the South side of the tavern, built to contain the six goats (named Fireheart, Feyra, Jacks, Xaden, Na and Tiffany) - where blackberry and mint try to take over, kept in check only by the goats. There is a chicken coop under some Rowan Trees to the South-West of the tavern, where a barrow of Feathered Rabbit family lives.
It is surrounded by trees - some planted by Taefanna, including 5x Rowan tree, 2x Chestnut tree, 3x Willow trees and 1x maple tree.
Show spoiler
Within one massive Elm Tree is a large hallow, that contains a portal to the Candy Mountains in Extraneous.
Just to the North, a small spring bubbles up only 50ft from the Tavern's wide doorway. The whole bottom floor is accessible to anyone - even those who cannot walk unaided. A portal to the top level is hidden in a cupboard, behind a hanging goats' wool blacket.
SURROUNDINGS
Animals reside within and around the tavern. No spiders are ever removed. Lizards, bugs and snails come and go at will.A family of grey striped squirrels live in the wood shed - Rhysand, Dorian, Rogue, Gracie and Snippet.
A raven named Quarn roosts in the build's eaves. It is Miss Tick's familiar.
Suprisely everything has the calming, chaotic order a natural place. Miss Tick keeps everything ready for the possiblity of guests. The accommodation is on the top story, with amazing views of the surrounding woods, cliffs down to Scuttle Bay.
The decorations are all natural and look mystical, cheerful and welcoming.
MEDICINAL
Miss Tick has great skill in creating and selling salves, ointments and balms - made with fresh water from the spring, and mostly using ingredients like honey, beewax, goats' milk, citrus and/or Tea tree. With no local hospital nearby, many people in that area of the Northern Isle come to The Lonely Mystic for her cures.Once a month, on the 22nd day, Miss Tick travels to Stern to the Guildhall / Temple, to make her wears more excessible to the locals and the students of The Gauntlet Vault Academy.
Salves are consist of basic componants. Balms can be made of just wax and oils, or they can be made of wax, oils and butters. An ointment tends to be a semi solid or oily medicated formulation applied to the skin to heal or protect. Salves are designed to reduce inflammation and soreness by soothing properties. Salves tend to be more oily and thinner in consistency, while balms are more thick and waxy. Salves can be better for moisturizing dry skin or treating specific conditions, while balms are better at sealing in moisture and creating a barrier against environmental irritants.
Quoroplatea lotions: creates lotions to care for the skin, feathers, fur or scales is required throughout a person's life.
