The Turqouise Turtle
The Turquoise Turtle
The Tavern's Tale
The Turquoise Turtle is owned by a married Eladrin man (Sharel) who's wife ran off before the divorce and his daughter (Minya) who is still practising psionics. Sharel dabbled in dark magic, and Minya suffers from mental illness. Before owning the tavern, Minya worked there under the previous owner who mistreated her and left her depressed and traumatised, whilst Sharel worked as a member of The Honour Blades . The inspiration for the tavern's name was an attempt at humor by Sharel who does not know how to help his daughter. It is a tavern of modest quality, and its main draw is a petting zoo out back for the kids and Minya.
The Bartender
The bartender at The Turquoise Turtle is a mature female elf (Kelearanostir) who is rather average looking. She is often absolutely rude in disposition. Her skin is freckled, and she has blond hair, kept in a close-cut style. Physically, she is certainly obese.
The Clientele
On a typical night, the clientele at The Turquoise Turtle can be described as uncommonly amicable. On this occasion, there are over a dozen other people currently in the tavern. Some of the patrons are arguing over how to split the bill, others are sharing tales of past adventures—successes and failures, and a couple others are singing a drinking song.
The Accommodations
The rooms for rent at The Turquoise Turtle are comfortably sized and kind of hygenic. There are currently four rooms available for rent. The cost for a night's stay is 1 GP or relevant trade. If the party try to stay in the tavern then Minya will confide in them.
