Silverhand's Inn
This two-story building (with a stone lower story, half-timbered upper story) has been a popular spot for merchants and travelers to stay in since Darmshall was first constructed. Remodeled several times, it has always been run by the same family; the current hostler is Nerrin, son-in-law of the original Innkeeper (the late Beasley). Beasley's daughter, Calista, divides chores and responsibilities with her husband. Calista devotes herself to keeping the inn clean and welcoming guests who wish to rent a room, while Nerrin runs the bar and desk.
Calista does most of the cooking, and Nerrin most of the bartending. Jess the serving girl waits on customers and generally helps out about the place, doing whatever chore is necessary to keep things running. Most folks only stay here a few days while their caravan makes a short layover to sell some goods and re-provision, but some stay for extended periods.
This long, low structure has five small, private rooms for rent and a large common room that can fit up to a dozen guests. A private room sleeps four and costs 1 gp per night, while a night in the common room costs 1 sp. A weekly rate of only 6 gp for a private room or 6 sp for the a cot in the common room (half for meals, half for the room itself) is available for those with no immediate plans to move along.
Nerrin and Calista have many ties to the community, being lifelong residents. Their daughter Ebb married one of the Lum brothers (Jolan), and Calista's sister Dara is married to Rafe the Smith. In addition, they know virtually every traveler who passes through the area on a regular basis, and being good hosts they do their best to make newcomers and strangers feel at ease.
