About the AMI

The Arennonmist Inn is right along the center of the west side of Relgard Castle in the town of Relgard. Out in front of the Inn is the Relgard Arena, and to the Inn's North is Relgard Keep. The Inn has a very simple and quaint construction, built in 719 AD, and has remained the same since it's original construction. For under 15 silver, a person can get a decent meal. Specialty meals, by the Inn's cook Walton Waveglider, go for starting at 17 silver and are of much better cuisine but his menu constantly changes. Some such dishes he has made has been Lamb Kabobs, Beef Roast, Cherry Sorbet and Apple Crumble. The Inn has rooms for rent at 8 silver a day with the accommodations being above average and with a bathroom and double-sized bed. All rooms are located along the 1st and 2nd floors of the building.

The first floor features a common room, bar, two brick fireplaces, windows peering out to the western view and the Arena, a well-stocked kitchen and the dormitory rooms for rent. The second floor contains single rooms and then the deluxe rooms which can only be rented out by Inn owner Richtous Bale. The front doors exit out to a small dirt road leading to the Relgard Arena as well as the rest of the buildings located within the walled and safe confines of Relgard Castle. Several water troughs and hitching areas are found up front, with stables also within walking distance and for rent for just 10 silver per horse/per day .

Listed below are several of the main faces seen among the Inn staff. Besides those listed here is a workforce of a cook, 5 cooking assistants, 10 room cleaners and 9 waitstaff/barhands. If a staff character is not around then feel free to RP out one of the background staff who will be a male or female human. The Inn is very well staffed and there is always, at any given time, at least one person tending bar, two working the floor, two cleaners found upstairs/downstairs and a person in the kitchen. Listed below however are some of the more prominent faces and names among the staff.

Note: Prices for certain drinks are higher in the Arennon Mist Inn than the Twisted Blade Inn due to AMI's Location. Also, lethality varies from person to person to gender to race, but it's based off a normal human male. Females are more susceptible to alcohol, while orcs and dwarves can drink humans under the table any day of the week due to their size. Finally, water is always available - and it's FREE!

Served in a Mug: 9 copper

Lethality: Medium-high. Three mugs will get a person drunk, the fourth would put them out cold.

Description: This Ale, claimed to of been made by the Ogres and the Orcs, (However the Dwarves claim those creatures stole the recipe from them) is named so cause of the bleary, red-eyed hangovers that come with the drink. While this drink is lighter and less opaque than most stouts, it has a higher alcohol content and a fiery red color from a brewing process rumored to involve pepper and other minute spices in the grain mix. It has a mildly hot aftertaste like a watered down Firebrandy, and is the favored drink of various feasts among the dwarf as this drink goes great with freshly cooked meat right off the bone. The drink is brewed in the dwarven communities to the west of Waypoint and shipped in 30 gallon barrels at 105 silver.

Description: This wine, which comes in many different colors and flavors, was long made from the rich forests of the Elven nation of Dewwillow and then from Ven'Tul, which is now Nore Quenderin. Although Nore Quenderin promises to start shipping Elven Wine soon, the drink is still very rare.

Damocles Firebrandy

Served in a shot glass: 5 silver

Lethality: Very High. Only veterans of the First Damocles-Shadow Knight war seem immune to its effects which cause a coughing fit, watery eyes, a burning throat and sometimes unconsciousness in the drinker. A few shots, or one or two glasses, will cause a person to become seriously drunk as well as cause damage to the esaphogus and stomach lining.

Seavale

Served in a glass: 6 silver

Bottle: 5 electrum

Popularity: Medium-high

Lethality: None. Non-alcoholic drink.

Description: Seavale is a blending of several flavors into a form of fruit punch and is preferred by the more wealthy traveler who wants to keep their wits about them while within a crowded tavern. However, lately it has become more popular around the more peaceful lands of the Arennon Mist Inn, so the Inn makes its own seavale by using fruits from the marketplace, making it cheaper there then at the Twisted Blade Inn.

Hot Chocolate

Served in a tea cup: 15 silver

Popularity: Medium-Low

Lethality: None, but it can burn the tongue.
