History

The inn's tale begins with a skilled archer named Elowen. For years, she had pursued the elusive creature, not for its pelt, but for the promise of a unique bond it held with the natural world.
  One fateful dawn, after a tireless hunt that took her deep into the heart of the ancient forest, Elowen finally encountered the White Stag. In a moment of profound connection, she realized the stag was a guardian spirit of the woods, a living embodiment of the village's harmony with nature. Instead of taking its life, Elowen was gifted with its trust and became its protector.
  Filled with newfound purpose, she returned to Deerborne with tales of her adventure, and the village rallied around her vision. With the help of the community, she built The Salty Stag's Rest as a tribute to the bond she shared with the White Stag. The name was a nod to both her trusty stag companion and the salt breeze that graced the shores of Deerborne.
