Innkeeper

Inns and taverns are not only the hubs of many communities but also way-points for travelers moving through unfamiliar lands. In most cultures, inns offer travelers the opportunity to procure drink, food, lodging, and stabling for their mounts. Most commonly found along merchant routes and major crossroads, inns are often passed down through several generations. Their locations often determine the distances covered by caravans and pilgrims wishing to soft bedding for the night. Some entrepreneurial Innkeepers even serve as Procurers.
