  Many a traveler will venture through the doors of this small community.
The inn is but a part of this large establishment.  The owner and bar
licensee is Zalyria, named after the earth she came from.  It is a peaceful
atmosphere where many come to relax and party.  Situated between Rune, New
Rigel and close to Lake Ayara, it is an ideal location for those people who
wish to escape from the hectic pace of the world.

  To the south, two carved, polished doors stand beckoning you into the
"Traveler's Retreat", where many a fine ale can be drunk or a hospitable
bed can be found.  Eastward are the stables, where you may hitch your mount
to be fed and watered.

  This long path runs from the stables to the main bar.  The floor is
packed dirt, clean and well used.  Although obviously used for mounts to be
taken to and from the stables, it is clean and free of manure.  The
southern wall is part of the main building, whereas the northern wall is an
annex of a canvas type of material.  
A sexy sidhe waitress is here keeping the patrons happy.

  This stable seems remarkably clean, for a place where animals live.
Large troughs of water and wheat lie against the west wall, and part of the
ceiling is covered, yet part not, letting in a fresh breeze.  The floor is
heavily padded earth or mud.  On the southern wall is a pile of manure,
covered in a canvas sheet.
