Stefan's Tavern

Stefan's Tavern is the tavern located in the town Oceania. This tavern was made long ago by Esmeralda Aratois, but she was forced to change the name from what she had originally (Oceania's Tavern) when she married Stefan. He is Esmeralda's husband who tends to treat her terribly. He takes all the credit for the work, but Esmeralda is the one who puts her heart and soul into her work. She works as the tavernkeeper, chef, and innkeeper for the inn right above the tavern. She deals with a lot of stress, but is considered the Beacon of Oceania, since people come all the time, to enjoy her cooking, her drinks, and her personality! She is an amazing woman, and since her marriage with Stefan, he has been taking all the credit for the building, often taking the money she earns to use on gambling.

Purpose / Function

The purpose for this establishment is that Esmeralda wanted to make people happy and do what she loved. She loves what she does and appreciates all the patronage from her customers. She doesn't like how Stefan acts, however, often because he is ruining the reputation she has tried so hard to keep up. Her goal is to help people, provide enjoyment to people, and to make new friends and loyal customers.

Design

The dimensions of the tavern are incredibly big, fitting dozens of people to drink and entertain themselves. The building is made of solid dark wood, creating a darker atmosphere in the building, but it fits it very well. There is a kitchen in the back, as well as a storeroom and basement. There is also the large tavern upstairs, via a staircase to the side of the bar. The inn is very large, with multiple rooms.
