Riverside Ryukyu

[KnightmareShiro]

Riverside Ryukyu

A historic building upon Mount Tarian's foothills near a scenic snowmelt waterfall below the Fireblooded Temple dating back to 1740 AC. Originally the Dragon Maid Café, the building has been handed down through two separate generations. Surviving an assault by the Droco family and the test of time. What was the Adventurers Guild and then Dragon Scale Restaurant is now a humble hospice and safe haven for all those who have become vagrant, vagabond or orphaned by the past years of wars in Esshar. A place for the meek and downtrodden to find respite, a warm meal and perhaps learn a humble trade in exchange for promising never to turn brigand or bandit and simply help others who require aid.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Main Lobby

A gathering hall and cafeteria, plenty of comfortable seating for wanderers and students of nearby Starfall Academy alike. Fairly priced meals of the highest quality afforded. Homegrown vegetables from the building's greenhouse and gardens with grain delivered from Osrona with the aid of local farmers, fresh fish traded with the tribes of Moxtli. A cozy loft for those who simply wish to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and read their tomes and study their scrolls. George, and Fleur have remained as the café's caretakers since 1800 AC, providing everything from hangover cures to home cooked meals and life advice.

West Hall

Medical and sanitation facilities offered to those in need. Privy open to the public, rooms reserved for injured patients and those seeking aid. Flowers for purchase from our thoughtful and lovely assistant Ellie. The newest addition are the Spa Room steam baths, heated by the Ryukyu's hearths and drawn from a volcanic vent further up Mount Tarian. Herbal and Medicinal baths are available as a service for those who wish to revitalize themselves. A key is required to enter the baths, staff will be happy to assist you if you have trouble.

Blackboard with soapstones provided for the free exchange of knowledge and teaching, any instructor or freelancer may use these facilities to tutor those they wish. Anvil and furnace for those learning artificing or simple smithing, a cauldron and basic reagents will be supplied for those learning alchemy. The space is also available for private meetings and curricular planning.
