Three Elves The Three Elves was an inn located in Voonlar , known throughout the Moonsea for its homey atmosphere and good , cheap food . Location . The inn sat on the north side of Shind Road at the intersection with Dump Road . A person standing on the front porch of the Three Elves looking outward would gaze southward down Dump Road past the House of Holy Light . Structure . The first floor was made from mortared fieldstone and had a large front door shaped in an oval with a hanging signboard that bore a heraldic design . The blazon for the Three Elves was an escutcheon filled with oak trees whose foliage formed a continuous field of green . Superimposed on this were three silver arrows flying in parallel diagonally downward to the sinister . There were two one - story lean - to additions , one on either side of the inn , that had tile roofs , which were cracked from age and from guests leaping from the upper - story windows . The second story was made of wood with a sloping , thatched roof from which many dormer windows protruded . Interior . The common room and kitchens took up much of the first floor and were not partitioned off like fancier dining establishments , so guests could watch the food being prepared if they wished . Rough tables high and low with comfortable ( albeit threadbare and battered ) couches and chairs were strewn throughout the common area . The rest of the inn was a maze of short staircases and winding hallways that connected oddly shaped rooms . Each room had multiple beds — private rooms were extra . The Three Elves was the oldest inn in Voonlar and showed its age with sagging lines and floors that creaked and could trip unwary guests with the occasional loose board . The owners had a good number of cats to keep the mice , rats , roaches , and spiders in check . Atmosphere . The four fat cooks treated guests like family and encouraged them to relax , put their feet up , and eat and drink as much as they wanted . Nobody left the Three Elves hungry . Dining was completely informal . If guests wanted something more organized , they had to push tables together and grab chairs themselves . Services . A meal at the Three Elves cost 5 sp and was all you cared to eat and drink . A room cost 8 sp and included food for the day as well as the stabling of one beast . Private rooms were 2 sp extra and stabling for extra animals was 5 sp per head per night . The fare was typically either roast boar , old ox ( tough beef prepared over days in a secret - recipe marinade of wine and crushed nuts ) , or shredded game meats ( wild turkey , partridge , or rabbit ) . Side dishes included greens with dumplings and spiced cheese soup , plus wedges of robust cheeses , salted fish on butter buns , and dried fruit tarts for dessert . Haundrae brewed his own dark ale from nuts , so thick you could almost chew it . Ammatha and Baralea brewed a light berry beer that was rather sweet . Other comestibles were available depending on what was being sold by merchants passing through town . History . The inn was named for the three elven warriors who retired and opened the establishment in Voonlar . They did not stay in the area long and sold the inn to some humans , and the inn was in human hands ever since . Inhabitants . Four humans ran the Three Elves around the Year of Wild Magic , 1372 DR , and each owned an equal share of the inn . They were :
