Inns and Rests

Vital to trade and travel in the canton are the rests, isolated inns and taverns far from villages and the city. These rests cater to travelers and trade in the canton would be next to impossible without them as they provider safety and supplies to their patrons. While primarily large inns and taverns these rest stops also sell most basic supplies.

Lizard Lick Rest

Located in the southeast Lizard Lick Rest is located on a large exposed salt lick. A popular stop for the gauchos of the Broken Hills their large lizards and horses roam the area freely licking the salt, basking in the sun, and eating the tall grass and bugs of the area. The rest itself is loud and rambunctious and is the closest to civilization that many of the gauchos will go. In addition to accommodations, food, and basic supplies Lizard Lick Rest have a bathhouse and a gambling hall.

House Specials: Yerba Mate with Rum and Lime, Roast Lizard Shank, and Salt-Packed Potatoes

The Coin and Scroll

Located in the Northwest the Coin and Scroll is operated by a halfling in a black beret. Formally known as the Pipe and Pint it is geared towards the traders that go to Qualmberg and further to the City, Coin and Scroll is the newest of the large inns in the canton. Some have accused the owner as stealing recipes and stirring bad blood, he remains undaunted.

House Specials: Local Ales by the pint, Smoked lake Trout Pâté, and Stew of Beef, Cheese, Potatoes and Mushrooms.

The GLOG House

Lying just north of Gog’s Down there is something off about the GLOG house. The grass around it is a slightly different shade of green than in the rest of the canton. Its seasons are ‘upside down’ - its winter is in the cantons summer and its summer in the cantons winter. Reports of Boggie spotting is higher here than anywhere else in the canton, as are rumors of sphere-hopping wizards. The taverns patrons are odd, with strange customs and strange speech patterns (and stranger tastes). They speak of hollow earths, of a war against the volcano gods, of devils made of blue smoke. They speak of a place called Centerra.

House Specials: Goblin Punch, a salad made from edible flowers, stewed dungeon clams in pasta with garlic and butter.

Tenkar’s Tavern

Located a few hours north of the City of White Willows Tenkar’s Tavern was founded for those who cannot make it into the city for the night. Little is asked to why one has been denied entrance to the city and everyone from tardy merchants, to outlaw bandits, to smugglers, to exiles, to mercenaries, to people who just want to get away from the city can be found within. Fights and stabbings are not uncommon.

House Specials: ‘Strong and Lots’ Ale, the tavern's homebrew. Roast chicken and salted butter potatoes.
