The largest Inn or Tavern in Bacland. With 600 rooms it can hold over two thousand people when full. It is also a meeting place for X.

## Location

It is located around the border of The Eastern Valley, and The Stretch. A days walk south is the medium sized town of Pepkey, to the north is Waypast City, just over a days ride to the west is The Crossing and the east is the town of Evesfol. most conveniently accessed with the cart run thrice weekly by Billbot Baggage.

It exists in a large area of poor sandy land, where very little will grow and any foundations must be built deep into the ground.

## The UnderInn

Hidden under the high cloak inn is a network of old tunnels and rooms that were used in the East Bacland Civil War. They were left abandon long after and have been used by the organisation known as X for some time now.

## History

The High Cloak Inn is built over the remains of Fort Hallion. A Mighty military castle built along the crossroads in 10,485 and ruled over by Captain Euraigo. It was a used as a vantage point to watch for Vardish armies traveling north from the Greater Southern Woods. At the time of construction the invading Trevious Empire had taken much of the northeast and after, crossing north of the Green Fingers, continued to take the northern half of Bacland. Once The Crossing was secured and Arrith Natel was under Honnish control, the only way for enemy troupes could approach the north was through the Woods or crossing through the Degrin Mountains. Because of this Fort Hallion was a key military target.

The Fort was maintained and manned well after the fall of the Trevious Empire and would occasionally change hands between the governing counsel of The Eastern Valley and the Stretch, though without wider conflict it held little significance. In 16,121 the fort was razed to the ground by a band of Vardish freedom fighters during the Vardish war for Independence. Most of the fort was ruined, and what remained was moved away overtime to repair the crossing during the Floods of 17,220.

This left a mostly blank slab in what was otherwise an open field, the surrounding land unable to support much in the way of life.

This is where the Elvish house Li'thatur came into the picture. Being an incredibly wealthy house they were able to negotiate regular deliveries from Evesfol, Arrith Natel and Oater, as well as a number of further northern towns. This cargo allowed for the construction of the Inn to begin, Being in the place that it was it business was plentiful, and the first patrons stayed on the night of 8/ 9/ 18,355. Construction continued over the next two hundred years until the Inn as it is known today was finished. The Inn is now still run by the Li'thatur house, Wintermere Li'thatur is the current owner.

## Tarrington Apple Orchard

To celibate the Inns anniversary, in 19,355 with a feat of magical brilliance, a group of academics and students worked along side a number of Druids to heal a section of the land next to the Inn. A number of Luxodon were gifted the land from the druids, and they created the Tarrington Apple Orchard. It is expected the spell will fade by 20,500.
