Rusted Blade Public House
At the heart of Hearthaven, Adventurer's Hub lies the Rusted Blade Public House, the town’s most iconic establishment. Once a sprawling command center in times of war, this storied structure has been transformed into a lively tavern and inn, serving as both a refuge for weary travelers and the social nucleus for local adventurers. Constructed from rich mahogany sourced from la Flore de Secrets, the building’s dark timber and black-painted roof exude a rustic elegance. Flower boxes adorn the first-floor windows, while shutters frame those above, adding to its lived-in charm.
Stepping into the tavern, visitors are greeted by a sprawling dining hall filled with mismatched tables collected over the years. Against the left wall stands the well-worn bar, typically manned by a duo of bartenders, with additional waitstaff bustling during busy evenings. The interior is simple yet inviting, its wooden walls adorned with an eclectic array of trophies, weapons, and relics—mementos of the countless adventurers who’ve passed through the Rusted Blade, each item a silent testament to battles fought and victories won.
The heartbeat of the Rusted Blade is Mama , the tavern’s formidable matron and main bartender. Her booming voice and infectious laughter set the tone for the lively atmosphere, as she commands both the room and her staff with equal parts warmth and authority. Her husband, affectionately known as Papa , helms the kitchen with culinary prowess, his dishes often receiving raucous praise from satisfied patrons. Together, they create an environment that feels both welcoming and wild—a perfect reflection of Hearthaven itself.
Supporting the dynamic duo is a colorful crew: Pietro , a plucky kobold apprentice barkeep eager to prove his worth; Ultumil Daephine , a sarcastic half-elf with a not-so-friendly attitude, and Dorlia Ariadani, a fiery tiefling whose jovial nature matches her obsession with adventurers and their stories. Whether sharing tales over a tankard or planning the next great expedition, adventurers find camaraderie and comfort within the walls of the Rusted Blade—a true hearth in the heart of Mordonia.
