The Kettle & Crown
A sanctuary at Hollowmere's dead-end, bigger inside than out, where violence is forbidden.
Nestled at a secluded dead-end crossing in Hollowmere where the old war road meets the mill stream, The Kettle & Crown stands as a beacon of safety. Owned and run by Bram since its opening in the spring of Year 0, this inn defies physical logic; thanks to the [A Room Always Waiting] skill, it is visibly larger on the inside than its exterior suggests. It serves not merely as lodging but as a vital sanctuary where violence is strictly forbidden under House Rules, offering refuge to travelers and divine beings alike.
