The Silver Lion Inn

The Silver Lion Inn is a popular establishment which caters to the locals of Alfsos, situated on the Garwilt District, as well as providing room and board for those in need of it. It came into existence during the 85th Year of Age of Steel, and is named after a local legend found within Atinaw.

The tavern is two stories tall with a rough stone foundation and solid wooden frames. Immediately upon entry one will find the main lobby, neatly littered with wooden tables and chairs within the heart of the room. The main bar is tucked further within as most who enter will find services available here, while minstrels can sometimes be heard entertaining locals in the lounge room on the eastern side. The kitchens reside beyond the bar with a separate room connected between them, outfitted with all the necessities of what appears to be an office area.

Of course the stairwell has been built to allow travel upstairs, as well as down below into the cellar where more storage resides. Going down it can easily be deterred that strong aroma of alcohol, as barrels and casks are what fill the rooms beneath. Going up to the second floor, one will find another lobby with a number of doors inside. The first five doors closest are numbered one through five, while the other doors are normally kept locked without a digit written on them.

Throughout both floors there are brass lanterns to decorate the inn with soft amber lighting; as the main hall is often filled with laughter, shouts, and the sound of mugs being heavily slammed or clinked. It's overall an establishment that feels moderately sophisticated but catering to all, and even somewhat decorated with a couple oddities from the proprietor's findings throughout the years.

Vincent Golbrook

Race: Human
DoB: Searing 31, 84 AoS
Title: Bartender, Cook
NPC Type: Local
NPC Influence: Level 2

Vincent has been a friend to the family for years after The Silver Lion was founded, practically a part of the boys life as they grew together. It wasn't until the war struck Atinaw that he lost his own family, and relied on the Barnell clan for support until such a time where he found stability once more. For as long as anyone can remember Vincent has been a loyal employee at the Silver Lion Inn, and he's proud to work with a family that's helped him through dark times.

Vincent comes off a little surly when one initially meets him, as he tends to be quiet and introverted most of the time. However when one gets past his gruff exterior, they'll find that he's a proud and even witty man deep down. Regulars who see him often are wont to prod him for jests every now and then, in which he's prone to fire back with sharp sarcasm if they're not careful. Overall he is modestly friendly to most, straightforward and even brutally honest, and of course makes a habit to figure out what kind of drink a paying customer likes.

Socialization: Apprentice	Unarmed: Brawling: Apprentice

Rose Marchella

Title: Barmaid and Bard
NPC Type: Local

Rose is one of the more uppity and cheery of those who frequent the Silver Lion, often singing or humming a tune from the heart while she works. There are even days where she may find time to entertain regulars with her instrument, as well as play for those who are hosting an event in particular. She's proven to be a rather young and spritely girl, eager to earn a hard day's pay so that she may help take care of her family.

Rose's cheerful and warm personality comes with a playful side to it, one that welcomes the chance for fun and flirtation every now and then. Her free and impish tendencies aside she loves to play and sing, and her positive outlooks on life are what help keep customers returning to the bar.

Albert

Race: Human
DoB: Searing 25th, 53 AoS
Title: Bar Owner
NPC Type: Personal (Family)
NPC Influence: Level 3

Albert is a gruff man who has appeared to age considerably well, and certainly a little rigid from his years of service in the Order. As a former knight of the Brave, he upholds family values with the utmost priority; believing traditions to be the important foundation of any Kin unit. Besides appearing as a hardened man with a ripe age however, Albert is surprisingly quite easy to approach when it comes to business or social formality. As a man who's grown to enjoy the life he's built over the years, Albert is actually quite humble and often prone to offer wisdom or insight; that is if it's a situation he deems necessary for it.

Elinora

Race: Mixed (1/2 Human, 1/2 Hytori)
DoB: Ash 51st, 59 AoS
Title: Innkeeper
NPC Type: Personal (Family)
NPC Influence: Level 3


Elinora is a lady with enough titles to live up to, above all however she is proudest as a mother. As a history major at the Academy of Atinaw, she's more intellectual when it comes to conversation. But of course she isn't prone to immediate chit chat when it comes to business, as she understands the value in great service and a returning patron. Needless to say she is a fan of puzzles and philosophy, often liable to pose one of the two onto her children when it suits her fancy. That said she is easily the more approachable one of the bunch, with a bright and welcoming demeanor nearly present at all times.

Dominik

Race: Human
DoB: Winter 42nd, 85 AoS (34)
Title: Bartender, Cook
NPC Type: Personal (Family)
NPC Influence: Level 3


The oldest sibling who takes on as much of the responsibility as he can, the Silver Lion Inn is practically the only life Dominik has known. That aside he is known to take a few nights off every great once in a while, usually to connect more with nature as the family lingo goes. As a man who enjoys being outside more than in, it's not surprising that he may smell more like campfire than actual booze. But of course the older sibling handles whatever his parents cannot at the time, and then of course spend his free time doing whatever he chooses to. He is however quite protective over his family, a trait more prominent within him than the other two siblings.

Patrick

Race: Human (PC)
DoB: Glade 80th, 89 AoS (30)
Title: Bartender, Cook

The second son often caught in the middle when it comes to the Silver Lion, Patrick's lax and whimsical nature makes him the more unpredictable one of the bunch. That aside he seems perfectly reasonable to interact with, as he shoulders some of the burdens Dominek picks up from the parents. He does however enjoy spending his spare time with some light reading, or perhaps even drawing, when he's not busy helping the business out with the rest.

Skills: See CS

Connor

Race: Human
DoB: Searing 66th, 94 AoS (25)
Title: Bartender, Cook
NPC Type: Personal (Family)
NPC Influence: Level 3


The youngest and more dare-some of the three brothers, Connor has a tendency to be more open and outgoing than the bunch. He tends to project a rather unassumingly confident personality, yet coupled with just a hint of uncertainty with his words. That aside he tries to be the more charismatic of the three, prone to act more out of self interest even; Connor has certainly been the problem child a few instances throughout the family's career. While he's apt to help the Kin out just as much as the other two, he also dapples in his own business ventures; a secretive side project involving the distribution of drugs within Alfsos.

The Front Page Shop

In the early 98th AoS year a scholarly couple from the Academy opened a bookstore, unaware that they had created what would eventually be a popular joint within Alfsos. While books and reading was never always the first choice for any typical Atinorin, those at the Academy quickly took favor and frequented the business. By late 104 AoS the Front Page bookstore had earned enough to expand on it's business, and due to a passionate love for the literary arts; a printing room became the additional part of the shop's growing success.

Ever since 105 Aos the Front Page has not only sold books and articles, but also printed them in partnership with the Academy and it's students. The proprietress Mirielle has spearheaded the journalism front since it's addition, allowing intern and tutorship for aspiring writers; most of which are often from the Academy itself. The Front Page does everything it can to help promote local businesses, as well as spread the latest word around the city as well. Yet there is one thing Mirielle prides her journalistic fronts on, and it's that whatever is printed is absolute truth.

Therefore any who attempt to spread gossip or rumor, find themselves called out by the chief editor herself; and tested before they're publishing privileges are revoked.

The bookstore is fitted so that the first two rooms are stocked with books, considerably the library, where customers can shop for a book or visit for a quick read. While the rooms in back are customized into offices and a printing area, so that students partaking in Miri's journalism front have a place to work quietly. While there is a staircase that leads up to the second floor of the building, that usually remains closed off to the public; due to it leading up to the rooms of those who run the bookstore.

Jorgen Lancaster

Race: Human
DoB: Glade 12, 60 AoS
Title: Owner
NPC Type: Local
NPC Influence: Level 2

Jorgen is a jaunty man who values humor above all else, hopeful to see his customers leaving with a smile before too long. Wittiness aside however he takes his role as a bookkeeper rather seriously, believing that books are what will help mortalkind one day grow into something greater. As a young scholar he had always sought to learn more, eager to understand the workings of the world. When he'd met his beloved Mirielle however, that's when he knew life at the Academy wasn't enough. Thus he set out on his biggest business venture yet, unaware of the thriving success he garnered from the Academy's support also.

Mirielle Lancaster

Race: Human
DoB: Searing 52, 58 AoS
Title: Owner, Chief Editor
NPC Type: Local
NPC Influence: Level 2

Believe it or not Mirielle started out as a barmaid, aspiring for fame and fortune on the stage at a young age. Her wild and spirited personality has always made impressions on those she has met, yet the aspiring star had found it far too challenging to achieve such goals; but where the world of books was concerned anything was possible. Mirielle learned that through reading she could escape from the world, and venture into new ones through the power of storytelling. Thus when she met and fell in love with Jorgen, it was only natural that she opened a book shop with him. Books became the very thing she knew, and while her talent for writing grew better; her tenacity alone is what enabled her to begin the journalism industry.

Thanks to all her effort at the Academy, Mirielle has established a rather successful branch in her business. When she became Chief Editor of The Front Page articles, she did it with the sole intent of bringing truth and joy to the rest of Atinaw.

Loras

Description

Loras is a small town located on the road leading toward Kamdin. Because of this, the town acts as a waypoint for travelers on their way toward Grimholdt, and the services of the town are built to accommodate this. There are a number of inns and shops, and the town even has its own small market which is open to everyone to sell their wares. The surrounding farmland consists mostly of agricultural products which the town both live on and sales in equal measure. Given its location, there are a number of traveling merchants who hail from this small town, though because of its dependency on trade the town does not have many crafters of their own. The majority of the tools and building materials come from other towns within the territory.

Because Loras exists along the route to Kamdin it has taken to growing and providing several goods which would be classified as luxuries, and thus impractical for most towns to barter in. Such items include tea and tobacco, precious stones from Kamdin, and even ink and paper. The population of Loras is only 300, but the people of the town are warm and inviting and welcome weary travelers to stop on their way to rest and raise their spirits. Holidays and festivals are a large part of the town's culture, and the people of Loras celebrate with gusto, even for seemingly small events.

The Town Guard

Loras has it's own small guard force, though they only number around 20-30 men in total. They primarily act as lookouts on the walls and provide basic services in the town by settling domestic disputes and handling townsfolk or travelers who take to the wine a bit too heavily. Their armor, while not extravagant, is a mix of chain mail and leathers, and most members of the guard are trained in the basics of hand to hand combat, spearmanship, and crossbows. They are lead by Guard Captain Tyran Malkea, a former knight of the Order of the Brave. He retired from his time in the main city and settled in Loras where his children and grandchildren live.


Locations


Terras Estates

► Show Spoiler

The Terras Manor sits in the northern portion of the town, partially surrounded by its own walls, though the gate between the manner and the city was removed long ago. When Dalinar and his wife were first given the position and responsibilities of an Alt Finla one of their first acts was to add on the West Wing of the Manner, space which became the town's clinic. The largest space on the 3rd floor was first located to the Alt Finla and his wife, however, after Evona Dalinar moved his belongings into the space over the clinic, giving up the larger space to his eldest son and his family.

Milana's room are located on the ground floor in the East Wing, and her younger brother Kuvar takes up residence directly above her. The two often share the spaces between them, especially considering they share staircases, but despite this, the two of them rarely see one another. From time to time Strass will stay in Kuvar's rooms, allowing him better access to Milana in the event of an emergency. The room is spacious and is separated by a wall into a sitting area closest to the door and Milana's personal sleeping area. Milana often entertains her guests in this sitting room instead of utilizing the large main hall outside. The floor above the Main Hall houses the main guest area, a place that has its own sitting area, comfortable furniture, and even a guest room for those who the Terras Family hosts personally. This space is utilized primarily as a family library and study. Books line the shelves, most of which Kuvar has read several times over.

The Manor is, by design, open to the community of Loras. The clinic is open every day, and can be called on at any time when there is an emergency. The Main Hall is utilized primarily as a meeting place for the children of Loras who take lessons there with teachers and instructors that are local to Loras, and from time to time Milana arranges for a special guest speaker to talk on other topics. During the coldest parts of Winter, the Main hall is left open, and the people of Loras are invited to come and sit by the large hearth and eat, drink and share stories to pass the bitterest code season. Even the 2nd floor is open to the public with an appointment, and towns members can read the books collected there free of charge. Milana has made arrangements with local book merchants to sell used copies of books and scrolls to her so that the inventory of the library can be kept up to date.

Out behind the Manor is a small greenhouse, the glass dome taking up a portion of the open space in the back of the estates. The Greenhouse is of great importance to Kuvar, and to Dalinar as well, so those who wish to visit must request access and be guided through. The greenhouse is filled with a number of potted plants and flowers of differing types. Beautiful flowers that bloom and spread petal wide, thorny vines, medicinal and poisonous plants, and even some odder varieties of tea leaves. Erma, the town apothecary, has arranged unrestricted access to this greenhouse, and so she can often be found here tending the plants with Kuvar.

Servant Quarters

The Servant's Quarters are located off the east side of the manner, built close to the manor itself for easy access to the servant entrances. Though small, space can support up to 6 full-time servants. Most of the Maids and Cook utilize these quarters, as well as Conrad and Strass'. Milana's personal handmaid sleeps in Milana's room, though she is provided space in the servant quarters for those times when Milana wishes not to be disturbed. The butler of the Manor has a small room located off the main hall, which allows him to be readily available to the family whenever they require his assistance.

On the first floor of the Servant Quarters, there is a space that was once used for storage. It has since been repurposed for Milana and Conrad's Artificing Lab. Though the lab is open, Conrad has warned all servant staff to avoid the area for their own safety. Both servants and their families freely come and go from these quarters throughout the day. It is not unusual to see a cooking fire and warm talk and laughter outside these quarters late into the night, though by the instruction of the Butler of the Terras Family all noise is required to be kept at a minimum.

Conrad's room is a mess. Papers and books are strewn across the space, and plates of half-finished food littler the area. For a while, the maids extended their duties to the academics living space, a courtesy for the young lady they served. It quickly became apparent that Conrad gave little or no care to the state of his own personal rooms, and after only a few short weeks the maids finally threw up their hands in frustration and have since refused to go into the old man's space at all.

Strass' room is on the 3rd floor of the Servant's Quarters, a request he made so that he could have access to the tower that could overlook the Terras Estates. He is a man who values his space, and his privacy, and so none of the other servants have seen what is within those four walls. Some whisper he has a stash of weapons, others say they have seen him on the roof of the building, sniping bats from the air as they flew overhead. Whatever the case may be the door or at the top of the stairs is locked with a heavy iron lock, and only the bodyguard has the key.

Center Market

► Show Spoiler

A large square in the center of Loras, the center market lives up to its name in more ways than one. The square is the liveliest part of the town, often filled with travelers and traders from the early mornings until into the light when the torches are lit. A fountain sits in the middle of the square, around which is arrayed a number of stalls where traveling traders and local merchants hawk their wares. During festivals the Center Market is utilized as the main point for the festivities.

While the stalls are stationed around the fountain, the buildings that make up the square itself are all vendors of various types. General stores, tea shops, local taverns and different restaurants can be found in this area. Many of the local stores and shops stay open after the stalls have opened, though the stalls begin their sales at sunrise while the stores themselves often wait until the sun is fully risen to open their own doors.

The Center Market is a place of heavy foot traffic, people talking, laughing, and eating. It is rare, but it is not unheard of for pickpockets to take advantage of this situation. The local guards do what they can to keep this petty crime down, but during festivals or when large numbers of people are passing through some would be thieves cannot resist the temptation to take advantage of the situation.

Duedrop Inn

► Show Spoiler

The Duedrop Inn was once owned and operated by the Milana's father's family, but is currently operated by Evona Terras' younger sister and her husband and children. It is three stories with a basement, located off the Center Market at the crossroads connecting the two gates to the town. The first floor is primarily open sitting area, tables and chairs fill the space and a small bar along the back wall acts as both a place for ordering drinks as well as checking out a room. A door beyond the bar leads to kitchen and storage area, as well as a pantry leading down into the cellar basement where more storage can be found. The top 2 floors are dedicated to rooms of different sizes, from one person rooms with just a bed and desk to a full family suit that can sleep up to 4 comfortably.

The Inn offers room and breakfast service as a part of the overall price, and additional meals can be purchased at lunch and dinner. The inn is most famous for its baked goods, and it is a well known fact that the owners of the inn used to run a bakery before taking over the inn from the Terras kinship. Drinks are served in the evening after sundown, though their selection is limited to ales and wines from local vendors and nearby towns.

Erma's Herbal Remedies

► Show Spoiler

Erma has lived in Loras all of her life. Her mother, her mother's mother, and her mother's mother's mother were all herbalists and medicine women for the town, and Midwives when the occasion called for it. Erma herself is an accomplished Alchemist who studied for a time in the Academy of Atinaw, but she eventually returned to Loras after marrying her now deceased husband. Her shop is located in northern Loras, near the wall leading to the Terras Estates and in a corner that makes it almost unnoticeable were it not for the large number of potted plants around its exterior. Vines crawl up the walls, blooms sprout from windows, and the sine of the shop is almost completely overgrown with vegetation. Despite this everyone in Loras knows just where to go when they are in need of an expert in concoctions.

The store itself is little more than a one room box of a building. The is no counter, no back room. The windows are large to allow light to flow into the building as much as possible, and as for Erma herself she is often found sitting on a small stool near the middle of the mini jungle working with a cauldron of bubbling liquid or meticulously pealing and crushing bark or grinding petals with a mortar and pestle. There is a staircase in the back corner of the shop which leads to the second floor which serves as Erma's Alchemy lab, as well as her living quarters.

Around Loras Erma is well known for her use of herbs to cure just about anything. Aches and pains, stomach problems, colds and other illnesses, Erma has a concoction for everything. What she is most famous for though is her use of medicinal teas which she grows in the Terras Family Greenhouse. Because of this she often comes and goes from the Estates on a near daily basis.

As for Erma, she is an older woman now. Her husband has passed, and her children now have children of their own. She works the shop both as a way to help the community, but also to care for the plants she has always loved. She is a small, stooped woman who has been bent, but not broken by age. Deep wrinkles cover her features, but when she smiles one can almost image what a beauty she must have been all those years ago.

Fishook Tavern

► Show Spoiler

The Fishook Tavern is located off the road leading to the south gate. The building itself is hard to miss, as on the top of the one story structure sits a large sine in the shape of a fish on a hook. The proprietor of this fine establishment is known simply as Old Man. He is a crotchety old man, skin hardened to leather from a life in the sun, who tends to glare at everyone who crosses his threshold. Despite appearances though he is known in Loras as one of the best hosts in all of Atinaw. He personally serves as many customers as he can, and often takes the time to regale his customers with stories of his time as a Vikinger.

The Tavern is run by Old Man and his three daughters. The family does everything from cooking, to cleaning and serving. The youngest daughter also entertains with song and music, and from time to time other locals will get on stage and offer a merry tune to add to the festive atmosphere. What makes the Fishook Tavern even more famous is the exceptionally low number of drunken brawls that happen within the walls of the tavern. Whenever a drunkard is starting up trouble the Old Man personally takes care of the problem, kicking the would be fighter out on his rear with a flurry of curses. It is rumored that the Old Man once threw a Knight bodily through his own window, and the next day the knight even came to apologize and paid for the damage. No one can confirm or deny this rumor, and some suspect it is just another tall tale from the old sailor.

The Tavern opens just before sundown every evening. It servers food and drink from all across Atinaw, though it specializes in strong rums and whiskeys brewed locally in Grimholdt lands. As one passing bard once said, 'The food good, but the drinks are what keep you coming back.'

Stolen Moments

Description
Stolen Moments serves as one of the few locations in Alfsos where art triumphs in importance over notions of strength and intellectual superiority. Here, paintings about different aspects of the world can be perused and purchased at one's own leisure. The business associated with Stolen Moments is very new, having only been established early Searing of the 120th Age of Steel.

The workshop is spacious but relatively empty, split into two primary rooms. The first room acts as a lobby and holds a number of finished paintings that can be purchased or simply observed in the moment. The lobby is also where most business transactions take place between the proprietor and the customer, meaning that they can typically be found here. A pair of glass windows at the front of the building provide passerby with the ability to look into the shop from the streets and see if there's anything they would like to purchase.

The backroom can only be reached from the lobby, and acts as the primary painting room. Here is where the magic of art occurs and new paintings are designed and created. Any customers with requests for paintings such as portraits or family images may bring their loved ones to the backroom to serve as models for the painting. While a chair has been provided for anyone who wishes to sit and rest throughout the process, any props that a person wishes to possess in their paintings need to be brought in with them. As such, it is not uncommon for someone in the backroom to enter carrying a prized object, a hunting trophy, or even a weapon.

A skylight has been provided in the backroom to fill it with light. When the light becomes so low that painting becomes difficult, then the shop is locked up and closed for the night. All of the paintings are stowed away in the backroom at this point, and the lockbox of coins is collected and emptied.
