Tavern by the Well

The tavern unofficially known as the Tavern by the Well is an unnamed tavern in a small, unnamed farming town.

Description
The tavern is located next to a worn and well-travelled dirt road, along the edge of a steep ridge overlooking various orchards and vineyards. The tavern itself has no signage, as it is the only tavern in its town. Its windows are hatched and covered with dust, but it still receives frequent patronage from villagers, farmers, and travellers. Barrels line the back of lacquered wooden bar.

Next to the tavern is a stone well, hence its unofficial title. The stone well is somewhat placed into the road, and a large magnolia tree hangs over it. Beyond the well is the two-storey stables. The back of the stables is placed against a sloped ridge, allowing access into the attic through the window.

"The Open Door" (1x01)
Eursulon began to work at the tavern some time between midsummer and early fall. During his time working there, he lived in the stables next to the tavern rather than the inn itself due to a taboo that makes him unable to sleep in beds. Rosalyn, the daughter of the innkeeper, fell in love with him over time, eventually attempting to gift him a bedroll in the stables. Instead, she found his belongings. Feeling guilty for looking through his things, she tried to cover it up, hoping to bring it up to him again at some point.

Some weeks later, a peddler began to tell stories to children recounting his travels and adventures, as well as the nature of Umora and its spirits. As his storytelling went on, Eursulon noticed a trio of strangers enter the tavern. Rosalyn agreed to help stable the men's horses, and finding the horses to be larger than she anticipated, she requested Eursulon's help.

As the two went out back to the stables, Rosalyn confesses she had looked through Eursulon's belongings in the stable, noting specifically his sword and shield. They are interrupted by the peddler and his men, who had followed them outside, some staging themselves in the rafters to drop on Eursulon. He confronted Eursulon and his nature as a Wild One, intending to capture him. With Rosalyn's help, Eursulon managed to flee.
