[Hopetoun] Hopeful Rest Inn
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2021 3:46 pm
Hopeful Rest Inn
From the outside, the Hopeful Rest Inn stands out, not least because at two levels above ground, it is taller than most of the other buildings in Hopetoun. Unlike most structures in the settlement, the building is of stone construction. Windows - shuttered both inside and out - line both floors, with deep window sills that house flower boxes where herbs are grown.
The Hopeful Rest Inn, which started its life as a shelter for refugees before shifting its purpose to that of hospitality, consists of three levels. An underground stone cellar offers temperature control and plenty of storage space, while the ground level is primarily used as as a large dining and communal area. The bar can also be found there, behind which is a kitchen that is out of sight of the patrons. The top level consists of ten double rooms for guests, and the entire building is kept warm by a large stone fireplace on the ground floor.
The Hopeful Rest Inn serves not just as accommodation for the weary traveller, but as a common meeting area for locals. The food and drink on offer are of fine quality but at an affordable price, and many of the menu items - both edible and drinkable - are a mix of common fare and local specialties.
Name: Serena Dhunen
Race: Human
Age: Arc 698, 79th of Zi'da
Title: Cook / Barkeep
Skills: Brewing (26), Business Management (22), Cooking (26), Socialisation (26)
Other Information: Formerly a kitchen hand at the Faldrass Resort before it was destroyed by the eruption, Serena Dhunen spent much of her time as a refugee on Scalvoris by improving her culinary skills and gaining some expertise as a brewer. When she returned to the island, she quickly made a name for herself by making interesting dishes from the limited variety of foods that were initially available in Hopetoun.
Standing at a moderate 5'6" with chestnut brown hair, Serena is one of the younger settlers in the community, and has grown used to being underestimated. As if to highlight that she is more than capable of hard work, she frequently has her sleeves rolled up - whether that's in the kitchen during food preparation, or wherever she's needed in the settlement to offer physical labour. Serena is proud of her efforts and has earned a reputation as someone who does not shy away from hard work.
Name: Kerik Lan
Race: Human
Age: Arc 676, 109th of Vhalar.
Title: Brewer
Skills: Skill Name: Brewing (35), Business Management (18), Negotiation (26), Teaching (26),
Other Information: Kerik Lan's passion for brewing is infectious. Not content to 'settle' for the standard drinks that most taverns offer, he is inventive and creative, and is frequently on the search for ingredients to make unique drinks.
Originally from Almund, Kerik moved to Hopetoun in 721. After getting himself into trouble with some local debtors, he was aided by a small group led by his brother Mai - a farmer in Hopetoun - and Darius Baer, the settlement leader. As a result, he was able to clear his debts before leaving the capital city.
Kerik and Mai are twins, and, aside from Kerik's moustache and Mai's lack of facial hair, they are barely indistinguishable from each other: 5'9" with a stocky build, dark brown hair, and a large nose.
