The Treetop Tavern
To avoid being invaded, and to keep a close eye on those who pass through the Feyfire forest, the inhabitants created the Treetop Tavern! This tavern is owned and operated by a community of wood elves and forest gnomes, who live in the sky-scraping forest overlooking the Mage's Road between Freywharf and Oakenhold. A network of bridges, rope swings, and zip lines connect a variety of buildings high up in the trees, though none are easily visible from below, in keeping with their goal of protecting and preserving the forest. A number of platforms rest on the ground, ready to pull up any guest who sets foot on them.
The tavern spans the tops of a multitude of trees, though the main tavern welcome/bar area is perched among the branches of the largest tree, roughly in the center of the overarching structure. Much of the tavern is alive: tables and chairs and the bar itself have been grown into useful shapes by the artistry of the wood elves over the years. Even many of the bridges that connect the areas of the tavern are made from branches and vines that have grown together. Any damage to the living tavern is severely frowned upon and may result in being suddenly and unceremoniously dropped over the edge of a platform by Greeba, the resident security.
There are three classes of rooms available at the Treetop Tavern:
The Swallows, which were intended for price-conscious guests, the Swallows provides a poor but clean level of accommodation for guests who do not mind sharing space with their fellows. The large, mostly open-air platform has sturdy rope hammocks for sleeping. Blankets and pillows are provided to guests at check-in, or guests may use their own. Backpacks and other belongings can be hung on hooks, or a lockable chest can be requested. A few folding room screens are placed around the platform and can be moved to provide a scant amount of privacy. Though the Treetop Tavern’s common areas are primarily at what would be considered a “comfortable” level, the Oakenlocks keep the Swallows affordable so that anyone can afford to stay and enjoy all the amenities.
The Owlery. There are five rooms at this level, individually labeled: The Spotted Owl, The Barn Owl, The Boreal Owl, The Tawny Owl and The Snowy Owl. Each room contains a double-sized bed fitted with a plump, feather-ticking mattress and a quilt handmade by the owner’s wife, Gwynyn. A small table and chairs are also included so that guests may choose to sup in their own room. Other items include a pewter wash basin, freshly laundered towels smelling of lavender, and a lockable wardrobe for storing clothing and other personal items. Removable cots or hammocks are available if necessary.
The Griffin's Nest is a single sumptuous suite divided into three rooms and the biggest room available at the Treetop Tavern, but only by pre-arrangement as the suite is often occupied by traveling nobles and high ranking wizards. Called the Griffon’s Nest, it even has its own private lift platform for direct access. The bedroom contains an exceedingly comfortable woven bed-nest large enough to comfortably sleep six people, provided they are very close. The sitting room includes a living wood dining table that can change shape and size to suit the guests (with help from Altin Oakenlock), a dumbwaiter direct to the kitchen for service, and cozy overstuffed chairs. The suite also has a private restroom including a tub with running hot and cold water.
