The Knight's Rest Inn & Tavern

Everything about the Knight's Rest Inn & Tavern tells you that it is owned by someone who really cares about the place. Every surface is clean and well cared for, polished wood and shining candlesticks are the norm and the entire ambience is one of warm welcome. There is an open general bar area, a restaurant and a number of rooms for rent. Stables out the back are as well cared for as the place inside and the attention to small details coupled with a focus on customer satisfaction has led to the Knight's Rest Inn & Tavern becoming one of the most sought after places to eat on Scalvoris. It's a far cry from Mad O'Rourke's, the meals are more extravagant and the clientele less likely to start a fight.

Entering the Knight's Rest, the large wooden doors open into a small reception area where cloaks and weapons are stored (no weapons allowed in the main hall is a hard rule). To the left then is the open bar, through which is the restaurant. Going right from the reception area leads to the stairs and up to the rooms available.

NPCs

Name: Whit Freidston
Race: Aukari (1/4), Human (1/2), Biqaj (1/2)
Age: Arc 653
Title: Owner & Proprieter: The Knight's Rest Inn & Tavern
Marks: N/A
Skills: Blades: 70, Tactics: 65, Leadership: 50, Business Management: 65.

Other Information:
Whit was once the knight who is now resting, and so named his new business venture the Knight's Rest. He is a loud, friendly man whose mother was a Human/Aukari mixed breed and whose father was a Human/Biqaj mixed. His family have lived on Scalvoris for many an arc and he is a well known chap around most of the island. He is boisterous by nature and passionate about almost everything. He didn't like the Pirates or the Pirate Lords, very much of the opinion that you don't shake the Devil's hand and say you're just being nice. Since they've gone, he's opened up this place with his daughter and he's a happy man.

Whit doesn't talk about his wife, who died in childbirth, but he still wears his wedding ring, all these arcs later. He describes his daughter as his heart and soul; he is fiercely proud of her.

Name: Zana
Race: Mixed Race
Age: Arc 690
Title: Front of house / server / entertainer
Marks: N/A
Skills: Singing: 77, Musical Instrument: Harp: 60, Musical Instrument: Fiddle: 50, Business Management: 40, Psychology: 40, Logistics: 40

Other Information:
Whit's daughter is a quiet individual who often seems overshadowed by her much louder father. Her personality is sweet and she has a ready smile. She tends towards shyness and will often mumble when she speaks. She transforms, though, when she sings. If the bar is full and Zana is singing, there is inevitably silence; her voice is pure and deeply melodic. It is strange, she says, but she is never shy whilst singing. Zana is very loyal to her father who has raised her alone and she is delighted that he has stopped fighting and has started up a business ~ she is determined to do her bit to make it a success.

Name: Lenon
Race: Qi'ora
Age: Arc 679
Title: Chef
Marks: None
Skills: Cooking: 74, Brewing: 74, Gardening: 50.

Other Information:
Lenon is a quiet woman who gets on with her job and does not speak. At all. She has not yet spoken since she started working at the Knight's Rest, as far as anyone is aware she can not. However, her food is extraordinary and she has taken over the small garden to the side of the stables as a herb garden. She is always quite serious and smiles but rarely. However, her loyalty to Whit is not in question, nor is her work ethic. Anything else about her remains a mystery.

Name: Naomi Waelha
Created by: Freya Ducarinos
Location For Use At: The Knight's Rest Inn & Tavern
Race: Mixed Aukari (1/2), Human (1/2)
Birthday/Age: 35th Zi'da 694 / 24
Title: Server / Entertainer
Skills: Musical Instrument: Drum: 70, Singing: 50, Socialization: 50, Storytelling: 40, Dancing: 40, Business Management: 20
Details:
Noami Waelha is a bright girl who's suffered much tragedy at her young. Being the niece to Whit Freidston from an estranged half sister, Naomi's relation to the family hangs by threads. The Freidstons never seemed to mind her company, however, and quickly incorporated the girl into their home life shortly after her father erupted. Her mother was never in the picture by the stories she told, but Naomi considered that to be more of a fortune than a curse. Regardless, the half-aukari had a knack for storytelling and offered up any who'd listen a fine tale of adventures she's heard from the company she's kept.

Clean Water	All menus	Clean drinking water. Useful for quenching thirst, survival, or sobering up.
Ashan’s Twilight	Ruby	A wine low in alcohol that is cheap and popular. It has a pleasant taste and is grown, harvested, and vinted in the hottest parts of Idalos. Though it is mass produced most of the year, Ashan’s Twilight is a very widely respected wine.
Saun’s Heat	Ruby	A spicy concoction made by the Biqaj and often kept by the barrel loads upon their ships. This is an aged, dry wine with a strong hint of flavour that goes great with seafood dishes.
Shimmering Koriel	Ruby	The added flavours of pomelos and kumquats give this straw coloured, sweet, full-bodied wine its unique and delicious taste. Imported from areas of eastern Idalos, this wine is crafted and bottled every four arcs, making it hard to come by outside of the east.
Sparkling White	Onyx	Vibrant and bubbly in aroma and flavour, this sparkling wine is herbaceous, flavoursome, and will ensnare the senses with its hints of citrus and passionfruit.
Kuwasa	Onyx	A dessert wine from the shores of Desnind with special aromas of mandarin and apricot with a hint of lemon zest.
Appiden	Onyx	Rich and savoury flavours loaded with the aromas of intense, ripe pears and Ymiden apples.
Smof	Onyx	A crowd favourite with ripe peach and aromatic flavours, make this one of the best mid-range wines in all of Idalos. Its subtle spices make this the perfect white wine for a cold day.
Moseke’s Harvest	Diamond	Inspired by the tastes of nature, crafters of this wine import green grapes from the far reaches of Idalos to bring together the ‘tastes of the world’. A crisp, refreshing vintage that will inspire anyone's taste-buds.

White Diamond	Diamond	A sweet wine best served cold, high in alcohol and far too easy to drink, this white wine tastes just like a high quality grape juice and has been describe as ‘the taste of Saun in a bottle’. Partnered well with fish.

Red Wine:

Item	Available With	Description
Clean Water	All menus	Clean drinking water. Useful for quenching thirst, survival, or sobering up.
Stone Creek	Ruby	An inexpensive red wine from the city of Rharne with enticing aromas and flavours of wild blackcurrant with overtones of black pepper and spices best served with red meat, wild game, and stews.
Venora Rose	Ruby	Imported all around the world from the sunny shores of Rynmere, Venora Rose is grown on the slopes of ‘Nora’s Rest’ where the vines get just the right mix of cool air and warm sunshine. This light, red rose is best served with Saun fruits and light meals.
Low Hanging Zemoni	Ruby	Crafted from the shores of Ne'haer, this wine is excellent as a before-or-after-dinner drink. This deeply coloured wine of purples and reds is sweet and delectable. Its elegant smoothness is due to a low acid content, delivering a flavour that will leave most yearning for more.
Acripae	Onyx	A wine that evokes legend and fascination with its brilliant tastes of purple grapes from the mysterious lands of Desnind. It shines with noticeable hints of garnet-red and flashes of amber. Acripae can be a bitter tasting wine due to its acidity. However, it is a wine that exudes glory, nobility and power.
Nanutha	Onyx	Nanutha is a drink best served chilled. It is a drink with a high alcohol content that is bound to get even the most tolerant tipsy after a few glasses. This wine is meant as a dessert drink, with its intense notes of red fruits and herbal undertones. Some say this wine is a true serum.
Vithella	Onyx	Important from the Avriel City, Athart, Vithella holds notes of spicy and herbaceous undertones that go great with a beef entree. It sparkles with brilliant reds and has low alcohol content for maximum enjoyment.
Red Aìda	Onyx	Named after the Sev'ryn's meaning for 'Love', Red Aida is a wine imported from the lands of Desnind and crafted by the people themselves. This drink is high in alcohol content and contains a chemical that is known to bring about “feel good” emotions and cause mild hallucinations. The wine itself is balanced between tartness and sweet and is great as an after dinner drink.
Ruby Shav	Diamond	This wine is both delectable in taste and appearance, giving off a very transparent shade of ruby red. Given at most celebrations, Ruby Shav has undertones of acai berry mixed with hints of orange and starfruit and is mostly produced and exported from Hiladrith.
Sesser’s Blend	Diamond	Named after Syroa's mark, this wine has a chemical in it that causes strong hallucinations combined with herbal ingredients that causes the body to become both hypersensitive and sluggish, verging on paralytic. The wine does not have a high alcohol content and is more often used for fast acting drunkenness than enjoyment. The taste is quite bitter, though most seem to enjoy it.
Gyara	Diamond	Gyara is a high class wine made by the citizen of Rharne. Its quality of smoothness coupled with its luxurious colour and blend make it a drink preferred by the noble class. The process to make the wine takes an extensive amount of time, making it one of the most expensive wines in the world.
