Solace's Refuge
This is a tavern in the western edge of Juterra, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. In truth, it is an entrance to the hidden city of Watchhollow. It is a squat, rounded building with a pointed roof overlooking a cliff. It is staffed by the owner, Haero, a tabaxi mage, who frequently makes use of the "Unseen Servant" spell. He is acompanied by a halfling named Aaron, who is often drunk. In layout, is has a central area with several sets of tables, a bar, and a door behind the bar which leads to Watchhollow. It has no visible rooms to stay overnight, however, asking for a room for the night is the "code phrase" to gain access to Watchhollow. It's signature drink is "The Storytellers Bane", which is so intoxicating, that one mug eliminates the ability to speak clearly, and the only way to communicate is with an ability that allows one to understand or speak with anyone, even if they wouldn't understand the language you are speaking in.

You have a good start for a concept, I hope some of my questions will help expand it a little. If its in the middle of nowhere does anyone ever accidentally gain entrance to Watchhollow? Is there perhaps more to the code phrase to prevent a random explorer from getting in? or is it located on a trade route where people not looking for Watchhollow would only pass through at midday, stopping for lunch then moving on. Is Aaron just a friend of Haero, or does he serve another purpose (bodyguard/melee fighter)? Can they call for help from the city, and if so how fast can it get there? Do people from the city frequent the tavern, or is it just visitors and travelers? The fact that the signature drink makes you incomprehensible and that there are no rooms for people to sleep it off also seems a bit strange
