T2: Whitehorse Inn

This grand old inn is most commonly visited by travelers worn from the long march up the River Road. The inn's large stable and corral are ideal for small caravans, and the rooms for rent are clean and cheap.

The food is plain, but nourishing and served in ample proportions. A traveler can eat and drink his fill, as well as enjoy a small, semiprivate room, for a few sp.


T2: Whitehorse Inn. This three-story, landmark building is one of the oldest in the Old City, having retained its name and mission for several centuries. A stable adjacent to the inn makes it perfect for travelers, and the food, service, ale, and bedding are at least adequate. The inn’s staff knows much of the history of Greyhawk, at least as it affected the inn. The inn has seen some kitchen fires recently and had to close several times for repairs, and the large wooden carving of a white horse has been stolen several times in the last few decades, but business is still good. The innkeeper is Erthin Mansharn [NG hm F2; hp 7; Cha 15], the half-brother of Director Cariel Mansharn of the city’s Oligarchy. The two get along well, and Cariel is often a guest here.

A building adjacent to the Whitehorse Inn on the north side is being rented from the innkeeper by the congregation of Mayaheine in Greyhawk. The building, only a single story, was a storehouse until the local priest of Mayaheine approached Erthin Mansharn about using it as a small chapel until the group could afford to build its own temple. Erthin reluctantly agreed, and the group has caused no trouble. The priest of Mayaheine is Veni Jartison [LG hm F7/C10 — Mayaheine; hp 59; Con 15, Wis 17, Cha 17; plate mail +1, shield +2, ring of protection +2, bastard sword +1 flametongue], a 36-year-old immigrant from Leukish. Veni fought in Nyrond against the Great Kingdom during the Greyhawk Wars and in Furyondy against luz in the Great Northern Crusade, returning to Greyhawk after each fight to work for his congregation. Mayaheine’s following is closely tied to Pelor’s, and the two congregations often have joint services in the Garden Quarter (G10).

Veni Jarrison has seen more of war than most people do, and he is tired of it. He is becoming attached to the City of Greyhawk and would like to stay here, though he is having trouble getting his religion established. The congregation has moved several times in the last few years following runs of bad luck, and they all hope their fortune will be better now.

DM's Notes: The Mayaheine followers have had bad luck in part because followers of Iuz and other evil gods in Greyhawk have taken pains to try to drive the group out of town, by burning down their temporary chapels, stealing their money, and so forth. These events have been made to look like accidents, in hopes the group will simply give up and leave. However, the plot backfired, and the group is now very cohesive and determined to stick together through any misfortune. (Some believe Mayaheine is “testing” them.) The cultists will soon start to attack the group in earnest, believing them to be a special danger to Iuz in the long run.
