Location

Located at the north-eastern edge of the Kleinius Vale, about 55km inland from the west coast of Thorast.

Population

Wayfarer's Rest is a moderate-sized walled town which is home to approx. 5000 humanoids. The population is predominately Humans (45%) and Dwarves (40%) with a fair number of Gnomes (10%) and Tieflings (5%) also in evidence.

The town is just 8km north of Shadowfell Keep, an Imperial Army fort, and so is well used to supplying the fort's needs, both in terms of the legal and the dubious. As such the town has a large number of taverns and inns to accommodate off-duty soldiers, as well as a good selection of brothels, armourers, weapon-smiths and various places to gamble away what little pay they have. For the intellectuals there is also a small library and even an outpost of The Cerulean Chancery.

Inns and Taverns

Inns:

• The Wayfarer's Rest - the largest and easily the best inn in town. It has a suite of clean rooms, serves clean food and can obtain clean women (or men) on request. It is also one of the more expensive inns though with rooms at 2 denari a night, plus food for a further denari. A 12-horse stable is available, for 5 unari/horse per night (feed included).
• The Dog and Abused Duck - notable for it's x-rated signage. a great place to go and get involved in a fight. Rooms are sparse and furniture is often broken. Rooms are cheap. You can share a room with three others for 8 unari a night. No food is sold at this inn.
• The Naughty Fairy - an inn for the "gentler" male clientele. Nicely decorated and a good selection of wines. Many of it's customers prefer to wear leather, the tighter the better. Rooms are 12 unari a night plus 7 unari for food.

Taverns:

• The Burning Man - Run by "old man Constable", a Tiefling who isn't particularly old. Constable is a master of the 'bastard sword' and doesn't take kindly to people trying to set fire to his establishment. Otherwise a 'middle-of-the range' tavern.
