4. Lucas' Rest (Inn)

This peculiar inn was built around 100 years ago to honor Lucas Bromild, a local adventurer and folk-hero. A massive ornate stone coffin sits in the middle of the main area, covered with candles and surrounded by tables. It features detailed engravings of Lucas’ exploits, as well as a faithful portrait of the man before his passing. On his death bed, the adventurer demanded not be buried, but rather exposed where his loved ones lived. This inn was property of one of his cousins, who chose to honor his request by entombing him in the main area of his establishment. Nowadays, Lucas’ Rest is kept by Godris, the adventurer’s great-grandson. The coffin remains, almost venerated, at the center of the main area; desecrating or otherwise disrespecting it constitutes a great offense to the eyes of the inn’s staff but also to everyone else in Darion’s Bridge. It is said that Lucas’ soul guards and protect travelers that lodge here. The building is not large, but it is the second tallest building in town (after the Temple of the Triune), featuring three floors, as well a large cellar below. The ground floor has a main area filled with tables where daily breakfast is served to patrons. On the first floor, two large rooms offer shared accommodation for up to twelve clients for a price of 5 sp per night. The second floor provides four individual rooms with two beds each at a cost of 1 gp per night. On the last floor are two small suites which can be rented for 3 gp per night. All stays include breakfast. Contiguous stables provide accommodation for up to eight horses for a fee of 5 sp per night. If the players want to discuss delicate matters, a small private salon is available for a price of 1 sp per hour. It has a fireplace, two couches, and a gambling table. Most of the clientele consists of merchants and visiting relatives of Darion’s Bridgers. The inn is known to be clean and quiet. Since the Troll Bridge offers far better food and drinks, Godris will often redirect customers to the pub for meals other than breakfast. To run his establishment, Godris relies on his wife, Boromia, and his twin teenage daughters, Liriane and Viviane. They all live in a house not far from Peel and Sons.
