Althea

**Welcome to The Silver Oak Tavern.** Althea serves drinks with a warm smile, listening more than she speaks. She knows the stories of the village, the struggles of its people, and the quiet truths that go unsaid. She asks questions that linger, offers words that settle in the mind like an old tale—never direct, never demanding, simply part of the conversation. She is a tavern keeper’s daughter, nothing more, nothing less. Or so it seems.
