Hunter's Dream (ˈhʌntə driːm)

Where Hunters find their Prey

Overview

  The Hunter's Dream is a huge tavern made in the head of one of the old dead gods: God of death Chimera. The floor replaced with wooden planks but the walls left as the inner skull of the behemoth god.   A bar lines the wall of the first floor attended by Gearman who likes to hand out free drinks and food to regulars.   Near the back is a case of stairs.   Upstairs is clearly for VIPs or people who pay a lot of gold to the old barman. Huge bookcases line the walls. each one containing compendiums of beasts of the land and beyond it.   Cushioned leather seats are dotted about the second floor each one having a small spruce table. It has an open balconey where a part of the skull once was.

Purpose / Function

The purpose of the tavern is to facilitate Hunters and Adventurers while they are waiting for quests or job.   Contractors wait around in dark corners to give jobs to those who are brave enough to go out into the wild world

Architecture

Your cover image is awesome, although it does beg the question. Can one only get there by boat, or is there a bridge we cannot see. It would be great to hear more about the staff, as the old barman seems like an interesting fellow if he is the gateway to getting to the VIP hunters library.

Feel free to stop by some of my WorldEmber articles if you want. My favorites are The Book of the Unquiet Dead, Outpost of the Moons, and The Emerald Hills. Feedback is always appreciated.

Your cover art is absolutely gorgeous and I ADORE the idea of the tavern being inside of a dead gods skull and that god being named Chimera - How rad! I think there's just sooo much you could do with this concept that I really, really hope you extend this article more!

I'd suggest reading through the Tavern Challenges prompts and checking out a great video from How to be a Great GM on the topic of landmarks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAao5GByM9Q In addition to these, check and browse other peoples works to see what they have written!   To give a few ideas out of the top of my head: Some recent rumors circulating the tavern, more specific information of the taverns staff and the happenings in there, and maybe some more ambience or quotes of the taverns visitors!
