White Blade
2006-02-12, 10:58 PM
A sign hangs over the door of the two story white building, it is the picture of a pure white sword facing longs ways and the words over it, "The White Blade Inn" the words are marked by a holy symbol of- Either: Tyr (FR Standard), Re-horakhty (FR Mulhordia and Pharaonic), Heironeous (DnD Standard), Athena (Olympian), or Heimdall (Asgardian), beyond those use best judgement. the door is a large wooden door, almost 8 feet high, and about four feet wide. The walls are white ash wood, extremely well kept. The outside is well tended and has an assorted amount of roses and vines climbing up its side for visual effect. The door has the words "Welcome all who seek rest" on it. -Outside Description
As you swing the door open you see well cleaned wooden floors, a number of tables in a circle around a small stage and a number of the tables are taken. At the far end of the inn a serving bar. A wood lined glass case on one side of the room stands by a staircase, it has a what appears to be a suit of full plate and at the right hand of the full plate a sword, white as snow. There is a sign over it saying, "Replicas." -Inside Description Downstairs
As you go up the stairs you see a few paintings, but it is sparsely decorated, the hall is long and narrow and has a nice clean floor but that's about it. There are doors on either side leading to a number of rooms. -Inside Description Hallway
As you walk into the room, you see a small chest on the end of a bed, a oak bedside table, a well-made lamp, a bed with a clean blue blanket and a fluffy pillow, and lastly a small table and chair for you to sit at and do anything that requires writing or reading. -Inside Description Room.
The White Blade Inn has been in the town for three very short generations. And I mean short. It was originally founded by Acaan Tianth, a retired (long story short, he got old, something happened and he felt too guilty to go on) paladin who wished to have an inn to host all manners of explorers, adventurers, and travelers on their way thru the small town he settled in. The Paladin originally had his armor and weapon on display and would talk about them proudly, his weapon, for which the tavern is now named, was a magical mithral blade called White. Acaan soon died and passed the Inn on to his son. However as was ceremonial, the blade and armor of Acaan were buried with him. Naturally his greedy son, whose name was Amile, made replicas and placed them on display, saying they were real. He soon died of mysterious circumstances (some say he was killed by Acaan for his own greed.).
The White Blade Inn was then passed on (legally speaking.) to Amile's son, Athian, but it was run by Amile's wife, Meratta for four years before Athian took over when he was seventeen. Athian came into running a budding business with flying colors, he made deals, swaps, and worked hard. He relied very little on his business assistant (a girl named Maria, about 1 year older then Athian, who Meratta suggested. Is Meratta trying to set them up? yeah.). And then something very different happened. He heard the paladin's call. He was told by his god (the one who's symbol is on the outside of the tavern.) that his duty was to protect the small frontier town and the other towns around it. Athian, as a good and devout servant of his god, did so, and Maria was thrust into a greater position. It proved lucky that Maria actually understood business and things have gone on from there for two years.
NPCS:
Athian Tianth:
Aristocrat 2/Paladin 3 Lawful Good Human
Athian Tianth, when he is home, is the inn keeper of the White Blade and is always its owner, Athian is smart, but... oblivious. Maria tried asking him out once and of course, he missed it entirely. Generally, its best not to assume Athian is actually listening to a conversation. As a young, and somewhat inexperienced, paladin Athian will eagerly seek conversation with any paladin that comes thru town, even one dedicated to another deity.
Maria Pinecar:
Bard 1 Neutral Good Human
Maria is a smart young performer who helps, actually primarily does it herself now and days, Athian with running the inn. Hired in by Athian's Mother Meratta as a "business assistant" it was supposed to be a set up, a set up which is moving in Meratta's opinion way too dang slow. Maria is also a common performer (story teller.) at the inn.
Meratta Tianth:
Commoner 1 Neutral Human
Meratta is the mother of Athian and is nosey, arrogant, and pompous, she could be the reason behind Amile's personality, then again birds of a feather... Anyway Meratta manipulates her son Athian into doing what she wants. Or has rather, because ever since his call to paladinship he has ignored her more and more and is starting to see her as she is.
