Sign of the Horse Inn
The Sign of the Horse is a fancy inn in Vaeltaa and is owned by a married man (Nikolas) and his son (Alexandros), both of whom are human (night's child). Both of the owners are law-abiding citizens with no hidden secrets or notable personality quirks. Before owning the tavern, one of the owners worked there under the previous owner, while the other made a living as a writer. The inspiration for the tavern's name was the Horse Clans. It is a tavern of aristocratic quality, and its main draw is the varied cuisine prepared by a talented chef.
The Bartender
The bartender at the Sign of the Horse is an older female wood elf (Byssian) who is pretty attractive. She is often uncommonly affable in disposition. Her skin is light, and she has red hair, kept in a tight bun style. Physically, she is particularly muscular.
The Clientele
On a typical night, the clientele at the Sign of the Horse can be described as remarkably secretive. On this occasion, there are around twenty other people currently in the tavern, engaged in several conversations, mostly about the recent trade issues. A number are obviously from Wyrmhold (orcs and dragonborn), while the rest are mostly Crisial natives (humans). There seems to be some bad blood, each side blaming the other for the recent thefts and the trade stoppage.
The Accommodations
The rooms for rent at the Sign of the Horse are huge and pristine. There are currently three rooms available for rent. The cost for a night's stay is 3 gp, 4 sp. If the party spends the night in the tavern, nothing happens during the night and the party wakes up after a night's rest.
