The news he had gotten from the tavern

As Eldric wandered through the market, he felt awe. This was life unfiltered, raw, and honest, he thought. 

The whole process took hours before Eldric was finally satisfied and decided that he was in need of something to eat.

They found themselves in a small and colorful inn called Stone Hearth Inn.

The Stone Hearth Inn was a sturdy edifice, its exterior a blend of rough-hewn stone and weathered wood. Thick, imposing pillars of granite braced the building, lending it an air of timeless solidity. The inn's interior was a warm counterpoint to the austere exterior.

The main hall was a spacious room, its stone floor worn smooth by countless footsteps. The walls were decorated with rough-hewn stone and dark, polished wood. A massive stone fireplace dominated one end of the room, its hearth black and cracked from years of use. A roaring fire cast dancing shadows on the rough-hewn wooden beams that crisscrossed the ceiling.
