Summary

Teroara is a large village in the east of Joriah at the base of the mountains. It's the biggest farming village, providing plenty of produce to the rest of the kingdom, but still sees plenty of travelers that are heading to Aerilon. The town is overseen by the elected Mayor and a few council members in order to allow the people to have say in decisions made about their town and there have been minimal complaints since it was implemented across the kingdom. Teroara is a relatively peaceful village, most disturbances coming from those travelling through than their own people, but they've become quite hardy folk over time, this town has learned their lessons and knows how to keep their people safe.

Taverns

The Turnip's Head

- Hard to miss, large, wood and stone building with a wooden scarecrow on the awning above the entrance, paint looks a bit chipped but the structure is in good condition, the sign saying "The Turnip's Head" is hanging from the awning.

- Inside is well kept, and often busy, plenty of chairs and benches and tables, an warm fire crackles in the hearth in the cold seasons and you can smell meat cooking in the kitchen, it feels very inviting.

- The rooms upstairs are quite comfortable, but often not many are available.

- Marak, owner, a burly half-orc with ash grey skin and one sharp tusk jutting out of his mouth, seems intimidating but is rarely caught not smiling, happy to help his patrons but has no patience for people doing the wrong thing.

The Fractured Gourd

- A mostly stone structure closer to the farmlands in Teroara, "The Fractured Gourd" is carved above the door, long enough ago that you can see moss growing in the letters, next to the entrance is a pile of three differently shaped and sized carved stone pumpkins.

- Inside is surprisingly neat, lots of places to sit and eat and drink, the vegetable theme continuing in a painted wall of various produce that the village grows, but whatever's cooking smells delightful.

- The rooms upstairs are quite comfortable, but often not many are available.

- Hiss, owner, a short kenku male, seems experienced but not that old, feathers similar to that of a crow or a raven, he's very curious, and isn't afraid to show his warlock magic to scare off unwanted behaviour, his speaking voice sounds like someone has read him the dictionary and he pieces together the words he needs, so it can sound disjointed.

- Kole, a tall-ish, young human male, early 20s with a short mop of black hair, can come across as flustered but usually knows what he’s doing, just doesn’t trust himself, easily scared, flirting may break him.

- Opal, a tall earth genasi, her skin is orange and cracked like the dry desert, long red, braided hair that glints when the light hits it, like opals embedded amongst the strands, wasn't born on Norlaria, quite sure of herself, flattery will get you nowhere with her, but if she flirts back, she isn't subtle.

Shops

Market

Most of the products that can be found in this village aren't sold in shops, per say, they're mostly sold in the market area where the villagers sell their wares to each other and to traveling traders, making their way through.
