The moment we'd been working for was almost here, the grand opening of Deverry's, the latest venture of the Deverry clan, and the newest eating establishment in Willow Wood, suburb of Qeynos.
Decoration curtsey of cousin Danda, carpenter extroidinaire; initial funding provided by Donilla Deverry, the eldest of the cousins; and food provided by Deliawyn Lhordeverry, Provisioner. Delia was the hardest to convince when I approached my cousins with my plans. She has a thriving catering business, and responsibilites as Mystic to the clan, and she was concerned about spreading herself too thin. In the end she took on the position of Executive Chef, and we found ourselves a nice little wood elf to handle all the food prep.
It was a dream come true for any Troubadour. My own place, to entertain, tell stories, sing songs. Weeks spend designing - how to accomodate all the variety of citizens, the whole issue of location, symetry and matching furniture or an eclectic mix. I decided to give up my inn room and move in with a cousin. For seating, we made a section dedicated to the smaller folk of Norrath, a middle area for those who prefer communal meals, and an area for more up-scale and small group meal times. A little sitting area near the front can be rearranged to allow for musicians and story tellers, and the bar on the other side will take care of visitors not caring to indulge in a meal.
Just in time for the Day of the Dead, tastefully decorated, if that's possible for a holiday featuring rotting vegetation, skeletons and flying rodents :)
Come and visit, sit for a meal, have an ale.
