The Gray Hare
The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline
The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE.
Inspired By Gary Gygax
This spacious two-storey structure is located at the heart of Desul Torey. The inn was built on the foundation of an ancient dwarven building, huge slabs of weathered granite make up most of the foundation, while the walls are made of thick pine wood and stone. Its many windows keep the tavern well lit, and its stables house a dozen horses. A battered wooden sign, featuring the inn’s name, a mug of ale & a lute, creaks in the wind where it hangs above the entrance.
This is only Inn within the settlement, a natural and comfortable meeting point, since it is the largest building in Desul Torey.
In the common room, local hunters and other villagers meet after long trips into the woods to share news and rumours over hot meals and mugs of cider or ale. Farmers, tradespeople and visitors exchange stories by the large fireplace or at the bar. At times, travelling bards provide entertainment. Farmers from nearby, traders, and the occasional merchants exchange stories and gossip by the open fireplace.
The Gray Hare is owned and operated by Rosie Tanner and serves as the main gathering place for the people of Desul Torey. It is a large, comfortable establishment that serves good food and ale. Rosie Tanner has managed The Gray Hare for almost two years. Prior to running the inn, Rosie Tanner was a wandering adventurer and travelled widely.
She is easygoing and talkative and can size up her guests at a glance. She has an animal companion, an old grey fox with grey whiskers called William, who likes to sleep in front of the hearth.
The Barkeep, Tika Tanner, is the twin sister of Rosie Tanner. It is not uncommon to see Tika tending bar and helping her sister on a regular basis.
The Gray Hare is a rustic inn found close to the center of the settlement. The Inn is rather ordinary looking but has a warm, comfortable feel to it. The walls are filled with various plants, flowers and other assorted flora. A long bar runs along the opposite wall.
The taproom in the cellar supplies the drinks to those who enter while the chambers above are available to rent. The prices of the food and drink served here are of reasonable prices and this establishments services are well worth the coin.
The Gray Hare may be common in appearance but the food and drink served here is known across the region, even if the inn is of more common build, the food and drink are excellent. Respectable customers are always welcome as long as they have the money for their drinks and meals.
The establishments employees are for the most part locals from Desul Torey. The furnishings in the dining area such as the tables and chairs are worn and smooth from years of use. Many candles are scattered through the main floor for maintaining a comfortable ambience for its customers.

The main floor of this establishment is for the most part a long open area with a large hearth set into the southernmost brick wall. This structure appears to have been kept remarkably clean and organized. The locals take great pride in calling this the settlements only Inn and tavern . . . one would be wise to not insult this establisment around the locals. The second floor of the building is where all of the guest rooms are located, a total of twelve standard guests rooms and 5 private rooms are available. Usually most of them are vacant due to this towns remote location. Each room has a comfortable single sized bed, several covers & blankets, a wash stand, chamber pot, a couple of towels, pegs for garments, and a comfortable sitting chair. All of the guest rooms are identical in appearance, all stocked with the same exact items. Each room is the same price and they each sleep a single person.
Meals are served on pottery, pewter or copper services according to the customers order. When full meals are ordered they come with potatoes, carrots, bread and string beans or yams. Various leather jacks, pottery mugs, wooden tankards, pewter steins, glass flagons, crystal goblets, or silver chalices are used for the beverages.
