Location
Turnpike's Lantern is located towards the western entrance to Fairhaven, Joriah, easily spotted due to the large lanterns on each corner of this significantly larger building and is likely to be the first tavern spotted by those travelling from the west, from the town of Tarrinport.
Atmosphere and Appearance
This tavern and inn is a large. two story building built from natural stone, wooden shutters on every window and the roof extends out past the walls of the building, with large, ornate, metal lanterns hanging from each corner. A large covered porch wraps around the front with some seating for patrons, including a few rocking chairs where there may be a few locals drinking and talking peacefully.
Inside the building is incredibly comfortable, there's multiple seating areas including some booths along one wall, communal tables and some bar seating, a chandelier hangs from the ceiling and a stone hearth in one corner with some seating. One wall is almost exclusively glass cases full of curiosities and collected items, you can quickly recognise a replica unicorn horn and the huge claw of a boneclaw. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, the food is filling and the accommodation feels luxurious compared to sleeping on the road.
