The Red Witness

The inn of the red Witness is a two story stone structure originally built as a temple to a forgotten god. It has a large dome on the roof. The wide wooden front doors were added later. The original structure had no doors, most areas separated by curtains.

The inn has good food and drink and moderate to good accommodations. Six ten foot by fifteen foot rooms offer double occupancy on the ground floor. The second floor has nine more rooms which are offered as single occupancy ’royal’ accommodations. The Red Witness is consodered better than average for food and drink.

The entrance has a large wooden double door which is closed at night. Two to four guards are always stationed at the front and bar entrance to any that look like they can’t afford to pay.

The inn has a large central room where people meet and socialize. The ceiling is open to the second floor and the interior of the dome above. Some nights musicians or dancers perform for the crowd. The second floor over looks the main room and the sound of the ground floor carries through the rooms upstairs.

The second floor has better quality rooms with a few longer term guests. All rooms are curtained off the guards make regular rounds which gives a sense of safety. The center of the upper floor is open and overlooks the festivities in the main room.

Below the ground the lower level of the of the Temple was used for strange rites to elder gods, is now used for storage and living space for the few servants that serve food and drink.
