Overseen by the ever-watchful [[Durnan]], the inn has long served as a crossroads for mercenaries, treasure hunters, wandering adventurers, and desperate souls seeking fortune or escape along the [[Sword Coast]]. Beneath the noise of tankards, laughter, and drunken boasting lies an atmosphere shaped equally by danger and familiarity, where stories begin and end beneath flickering lanternlight beside the open maw leading into darkness below. For [[Dio Eldwynair]], living within the Portal under the name [[Ronan Blackfen]] offered something far rarer than comfort: anonymity. Across countless cycles of his curse, he repeatedly returned to the inn’s crowded halls, disappearing into the endless movement of strangers where no one questioned a quiet man with white hair and tired eyes. <div class="dioctionary-ribbon">OTHER IMAGES</div> **1st Floor** ![[Pasted image 20260508154743.png]] **2nd Floor** ![[5E_YP2F.png]] **3rd Floor** ![[5E_YP3F.png]] **Roof** ![[5E_YP4G.png]]
