Rune Mug Tavern
Tired from your studies of the Arcane? Are you all frustrated from your experiments exploding? Well come on into the Rune Mug tavern where a caster can get a mug of relaxation or beer if one prefers.
Why is it called the Rune Mug?
Two wizards run the rune mug tavern. The guy who tends to pour the drinks is the alchemist and the woman is the one who made all the runes on each mug. Each mug has a rune to keep the beers cold or the tea or coffee hot. Traldeer and Dian Vendrell got married years ago. Under Keltori custom he took her last name. They founded the Rune Mug tavern in Carthain city. Carthain city is in the province of Principality of Carn. One of the many Principalities that make of the Country of Vostoria. In the iron city the inn is located just down the street from the mage guild. The thrid floor hold for royal member or the inn keeper themselves.

Purpose / Function
A place that mages can get an alcoholic drink and decent food to eat. Many wizards from the Mage Guild in Carthain come here to chat and get information on the latest rumors or news of what is going on in the rest of Vostoria.
Alterations
After the war with the elves during the Risen War, the tavern has had two extensions to it. though the entrance room and kitchen still have a lot of the old elven architectures. But many of the locals are all too proud to point out the flag hanging on the wall. The flag that waved and used during the war. Lupins, Lurkins, Keltori and Elysorri Elves fought together under that banner to push back the Shilen Empire.
The second floor is all built in Keltori human architecture. The 4 rooms are furnished in the Lupin and Lurkins styles. The pottery and flowers of Elysorri style.
The hidden tunnel in the basement is not much in use. Some greenhorn adventures go down there to fight off giant rats or goblins that stumble into the tunnel.
Architecture
Part of the front and main drinking room has the Shilen style. But after the Risen war two extensions were added. The second floor is mostly Keltori style, with carved Keltori knot working the wood framework that people see. Pottery in the upstairs rooms is all of Elysorri elf style. All the tables and furniture's in Lupin or Lurkin style. Simple and strong.
Defenses
None. "The watch" common guards and adventures in the area come to the rescue of this establishment. Plus, the Carthain mage guild is just down the street and nearly every wizard and clockwork mage would come to the rescue of the favorite tavern.
History
In the years of Slavery, the lupins and Lurkins that were not in service to the Shilen. Build and used tunnels throughout Carthain. Now known as the Iron city Cartain. The basement has a secret. A tunnel that in and out of Carthain city. This is where the rebels would use to sneak in and out as well as smuggle in weapons and tools to fight the Shilen army. They say in another tavern there is the bar that the rebels used as a headquarters. People know it in the city somewhere but not as of yet has been able to find it.
Tourism
Adventures and the casters know of this place as a wizard's watering hole. A good place to hear what other adventures have done or what treasures they have heard about.
Local wizards come here all the time to take a break from their lab works or meet up with friends.
