Unidentified tavern (Strop's End)

A dilapidated tavern was located in the Strop's End settlement on the planet Teriona during the High Republic Era. Between around 234 BBY and 232 BBY, the Jedi Master Loden Greatstorm and his Padawan, Bell Zettifar, visited the tavern while on their mission to the world. Greatstorm bought a round of vinbeer for the patrons and paid for the beverages by repairing the establishment's roof with Zettifar, as the tavern's bartender refused to accept Republic credits as payment. Later, the Terionese man Argeel expressed his gratitude for the repairs, and Zettifar later thought about the incident years later.
==Description==
The tavern was a small building in the planet Teriona's Strop's End settlement. It had a wide, sagging porch featuring several benches. By the time of the High Republic Era, the tavern had become dilapidated and had a hole in its roof until it was later repaired. The establishment also had a counter bartop.
==History==
During the High Republic Era, a Terionese individual was the owner of the tavern and the establishment employed a bartender. The tavern's roof eventually developed a hole, which the owner did not repair due to the constant state of strife on the world. By that time, many Strop's End locals enjoyed gathering in the tavern to enjoy alcoholic vinbeer or a bowl of scrambled grubbub.
Between around 234 BBY and 232 BBY,The flashback events of "All Jedi Walk Their Own Path" take place after Lina Soh became Supreme Chancellor and prior to the Great Hyperspace Disaster, which equates to between around 234 BBY and 232 BBY per Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia. the Jedi Master Loden Greatstorm and his Padawan, Bell Zettifar, visited the tavern after searching for a communal spot in Strop's End to meet the local community during their mission to the world. Several Terionese eyed the pair warily as they walked in, prompting Zettifar to reach for his lightsaber. However, Greatstorm signaled him to put the weapon away and addressed the tavern's occupants to introduce himself and his Padawan. The Jedi Master then indicated to the bartender that he wished to purchase a round of beverages for the establishment's Terionese patrons. Though skeptical, the worker eventually lined up several glasses and mugs to distribute vinbeer to those in the tavern. When Greatstorm attempted to pay the bartender in Galactic Republic credits, the latter incredulously indicated that they were not accepted as currency. The two Jedi instead repaired the establishment's roof for its owner to pay for the beverages.
Afterward, Greatstorm and Zettifar spent time in the tavern nearly every night, paying for their vinbeer and scrambled grubbub with local currency or promises of work. They often listened intently to the locals' conversations about the state of war on Teriona, which gradually became more informative as the Terionese became more comfortable with their presence. After weeks had passed, the Terionese man Argeel and several other locals visited the Jedi and thanked them for showing them a more peaceful way of life, with the former expressing their gratefulness for fixing the tavern's roof. In 229 BBY,The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 3 places the search for Burryaga Agaburry—which is depicted as part of the main events of "All Jedi Walk Their Own Path"—between the Guardian Protocols' implementation and Pra-Tre Veter's execution, both of which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 229 BBY. Zettifar reflected on how he and his Master's fixing of the tavern's roof had inspired Teriona's locals to pursue peace.
==Behind the scenes==
The tavern appeared in a flashback in the short story "All Jedi Walk Their Own Path," written by Charles Soule and published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.
