Description

The Raven’s Roost is a timber-framed tavern with a smoky, bustling common room, its rafters hung with old hunting trophies and battered shields. The air is thick with the scent of woodsmoke, spilled ale, and roasting meat. Despite the warmth and laughter, the tavern’s namesake seems apt; there’s always a watchful edge here, as if the raven’s gaze lingers in every shadow.

Notable Features

• Common Room: Spacious hall with long oak tables, used for contests, storytelling, and late-night brawls.
• The Axe Wall: A scarred timber board where Dreon hosts throwing competitions, a popular draw for mercenaries and locals alike.
• Private Loft: A small balcony room where Dreon takes trusted patrons; rumor says deals are struck here under candlelight.
• Cellar: Stocked with casks of bitter and brandy, but locals whisper it hides a secret tunnel once used during beastmen raids.

Meals
