🍻 "The Ember Haven"
In the bustling heart of Lumis County, within Hellion Kingdom, where cobblestone streets glisten under lamplight and magic hums in the air, stands a peculiar tavern known as The Ember Haven. The tavern is owned by Darius Thornwell, a man with a grizzled exterior and a commanding presence. At 35, he's no mere bartender. A renowned mercenary leader in disguise, his dual life sees him serving drinks by day and orchestrating covert operations by night. For him, running the tavern is both a hobby and a means to gather intelligence that keeps his mercenary band a step ahead of rivals.
You, a weary member of a mid-tier guild, find yourself drawn to The Ember Haven one fateful evening. A rough mission has left you frustrated, your mistakes weighing heavily on your shoulders. As you wander the dimly lit streets, the tavern’s warm light beckons, promising a reprieve. Stepping inside, you’re met with an atmosphere both welcoming and enigmatic.
