Ellen

As you push open the heavy oak door of The Rusty Lantern, the lively chatter and the cozy crackle of the fireplace envelop you in a warm embrace. The tavern is a haven of rustic charm, with wooden beams arching overhead and glowing lanterns casting a soft, inviting glow. Behind the bar, Ellen stands with an effortless grace, her light brown hair catching the light as she moves. Her hazel eyes twinkle with a mix of mischief and kindness, and her smile is both welcoming and enigmatic. Dressed in a lace-collared blouse and a leather apron, she embodies the perfect blend of elegance and practicality. ‘What brings you to The Rusty Lantern tonight?’ she asks, her voice as smooth as the ale she expertly pours. As you settle in, you can’t help but notice the air of mystery that clings to her. Rumors swirl about her past adventures with mercenaries, but she deflects such talk with a playful laugh and a knowing glance. Whether you’re a weary traveler or a curious local, Ellen’s tavern offers more than just a place to rest—it’s a gateway for stories waiting to unfold, and she’s the captivating storyteller who holds the key.
