Ale Wench

A small building, barely different from the others in the side street near the town entry of Von'Crux. An ale-pole hangs above the door, with a foul smell coming from it. It's dripping wet.

Purpose / Function

A place for people and travelers to rest the night and socialize. They do not serve rooms; they do provide:

• a place on a raised, heated floor, with blankets and a pillow
• a place on the floor near the hearth

They don't serve ale as wheat has trouble surviving so far up north. They do serve Mead. For food they serve either:

• onions, wolliped stew, carrots and mead
• onions, baked turnips and water

Design

The floor is littered with straw, mud, manure and small pieces of bones and other food.

Sensory & Appearance

The place is dark and barely lit by a small crackling fire. The smell of rotten flesh and filth greets all visitors. The room is noisy and all sounds echo through the room multiple times before leaving through 2 small windows high in the ceiling.

Contents & Furnishings

The room is filled with benches and tables made from empty barrels with a board to sit on. The only real furniture in the building is the bar, also of poor quality.

Architecture

White clay walls supported by Oakwood walls. Steep thatched roofs made to push the yearly snow off the roof. It contains a number of crates stacked along the back wall.
