Thatched Roof Inn
The Thatched Roof Inn holds a unique place in the history of Tatharia Capitolina, not just for its age, but for the remarkable feat of engineering that moved it from its original home in Little Tathar to its current location in Old Side. In the year 1399, long before the Julius family became its stewards, a team of engineers undertook the ambitious project of relocating the entire structure from outside the city walls to a more prominent location within. The decision to move the inn was motivated by the Empire’s desire to preserve Tathar heritage while bringing such cultural landmarks closer to the heart of the growing capital.
The thatched roof, now out of place in the midst of towering stone and brick structures, remains the inn's most distinctive feature. The inn’s outdated architecture, with its straw roof and wooden beams, offers a striking contrast to the modern cityscape around it. Yet, despite its rustic appearance, the Thatched Roof Inn is a cherished relic, frequented by both commoners and nobles alike.
The large outdoor ovens, relics of its original design, continue to be a draw for patrons. These ovens, positioned near the entrance, are constantly in use, filling the air with the enticing aromas of freshly baked bread and roasted meats. Nobles who seek a break from their opulent lives come to savor the simple, hearty meals cooked here, while commoners enjoy the affordable fare and welcoming atmosphere.
With its unique history and undeniable charm, the Thatched Roof Inn stands as a living testament to the enduring legacy of Tathar culture, blending the past with the present, and bringing together people from all walks of life under one roof.
