Lodestar Inn

The Lodestar Inn is a 4-floor combination tavern and hotel in the Warptown district of the city of Riverguard. It is owned and operated by the half-elf innkeeper Jantris.

A Hell of a Hotel
The Lodestar is the largest building in the district owned by a single person, rather than a guild or the city government. Jantris has taken many steps to secure it's place as the prime venue for parties and revelry in Warptown, going so far as to provide discounts to town guard and guild members, and to throw unsolicited parties in honor of any accomplishments they make.

The Inn serves primarily spirits purchased in bulk from sources in Lower City that Jantris is reluctant to specify, but also stocks a rotating array of small-scale specialty ale brews from select amateur brewers. Due to the relative scarcity of grapes or honey surrounding Hourglass, wine is rare commodity that Jantris is always on the lookout to secure.

The tavern takes up most of the first floor, with storage in the basement. The upper floors make up the hotel section, with the rooms becoming finer and finer as the levels ascend. The fourth and highest floor consists of huge luxury suites that would be appropriate for any visiting dignitary. However, since such dignitaries rarely visit Warptown, the suites are usually rented out the whole groups. Parties with life still in them after the tavern closes often wind up migrating upstairs.

Decor
The Lodestar has been carefully designed to look inviting to as many people as possible. Jantris somehow convinced the Construction Guild to incorporate building techniques other than those of Dwarven origin. The facade is a combination of Dwarven beams and pillars with human-style arches, while the roof is distinctly Elvish.

Inside the tavern, warm colors, open fires, and close tables give the impression of a comfy Halfling home. A huge mural of a galleon following a guiding star through a choppy sea tributes the Inn's namesake. The bar is polished wood, and usually tended by Jantris herself on slower nights.

The hotel rooms have a much more generic human feel, though are still relatively luxurious.

Patrons
On any given night, the tavern portion of the Lodestar is filled with a varying number of patrons.
