This inn is one of the two inns which Tarkil owns, unknown to his family. It's his "retirement fund" as he likes to think of it, just in case he needs to escape with money somewhere away from his family.
The inn isn't adjacent to the open air market, but close by on the northwest corner. The tavern is the smallest part of the inn, holding only a dozen tables in a close area. Most of the space is devoted to the 24 small rooms upstairs, the kitchen, an office, and living quarters for the help down below.
Though well lit, the tavern can be darkened to allow for unseen business deals. The interior is well maintained, though this is still an older building. The interior is mostly wood, the outer first floor river rock. There are two fireplaces, one at either end of the tavern (one near the door, and one near the entrance to the kitchen).
The rooms up above are all for double occupancy (though more people could fit in them). There are no suits or bunk room. The cost per room is 5 silver eagles per night and a silver for a day's worth of meals. (Ale or wine is extra). The accommodations are average but clean, the food unimaginative, but edible.
At the moment the "owner" of the inn is One Eye Jack. He claims to have lost his left eye in a knife fight, but the truth is he fell when he was younger and poked out his own eye when he landed on a sharp stick. The healers were able to save his life, but not his eye for he could not afford to pay for a highly skilled healer. He reports to Tarkil by several intermediaries once a month and gives what little profits there are to him. Jack knows he has it good and tries not to skim too much that Tarkil will notice.
Rumors are easily found here, because the regulars like to talk, even if you don't buy them a drink or food. This is a good place for beginning characters to rest and recover between adventurers, since the prices are reasonable and the place is serviceable.
