Kraken's Heart Inn
The Kraken's Heart Inn is a large, three-story in located in the Basville District of Aramor near Tavern Square. It is owned and operated by Harpon Marin, a veteran seaman and Kraken hunter that retired after a devestating injury while harvesting a Kraken. The Inn's name is a pun on an old seamans saying that giant kraken have no heart (which is not, literally, true, of course).
The Inn has a very nautical aspect to its ambiance, with plain, stone-scrubbed and swabbed flag floors, much use of heavily tarred wood and line for both furniture and decoration, and meals have a real taste of the sea to them. One of the Inn's most popular dishes is a sea pie made of salt pork and onions packed in layers and baked to perfection. Soup and tack is also a very popular dish. The favorite drink offered at the Inn is a sweet grog made from the juice of the broomcorn plant that is widely grown in the interior of the County. A half of a sea pie, a large bowl of soup and tack, or a large pint of the strong, sweet grog will each cost a guest two pense (roughly $2)
The Kraken's Heart offers rooms, baths, meals and some supplies for travellers and is a popular eating and drinking establishment for many locals, as well. They have a small stabe that can accomodate 4 horses or 6 ponies, and there is a very good farrier just a few hndred feet away. Harpon is on hand to assist guests and patrons at all times, and his services are fast, fair and affordable. A bed is one silver piece, a room is two pieces, a room with meals is 2s10p, a room with meals and a bath is 3 pieces, and a stall in the stables is an extra 20 pense.
