Setting: The Mabari's Rest is a tavern for travelers located on the fringe of the Planasene Forest west and south of Kirkwall. While there are any number of outbuildings, it stands alone. As it isn't really in any particular jurisdiction, it is popular with those who prefer to discretion. It is ten years after the Blight.
The owner is known as 'The Boss'. No non-employee has ever seen or spoken with him. It is popularly believed that he is not, despite the decor and staff, a Ferelden but is instead an Antivan. The staff does not comment on the subject.
The bar manager/innkeeper is a pretty elven girl named Amethyne, who looks sad when she isn't busy.
The barmen are two burly humans named Raveth (Ravy) and Mavor (Mavy). They are rarely working at the same time. The bouncer is a large Qunari, complete with horns, who calls himself Saarebas. Rose, Tulip and Wisteria are the waitresses. They are all human. All of the humans are from Ferelden and speak with Denerim accents. In the kitchen is a large unfriendly woman named Grace. She has two helpers, orphans of indeterminate sex and age: "You there" and "The other one". The two helpers mostly turn the spit or stir the large pot of lamb stew.
A dog motif runs through the entire establishment with wall hangings, tapestries and the bath in the Royal suite all having mabari inspired designs. The cuisine shows a strong Ferelden influence as well. The house specialty is lamb stew, with a bubbly cheese crust. The cheese is quite good. It is considered a sign of endurance and stamina to be able to finish the stew. Only four people have ever had seconds. The regulars still speak in hushed whispers of the blond man who had thirds. Many say he was a Grey Warden. Many more say he was drunk at the time.
Fighting does not happen inside the inn. Brawlers are asked by Saarebas to 'take it outside'. Well, not so much asked as told. And somehow they always do. It's as though it were magic. The staff never fights, but they would back up Saarebas if needed. They have never been needed.
The rules: Set out who your character is. You can be anyone other than a canonical character (i.e. not a Hawke, a companion or a Gray Warden or a close relative of the same). You should describe who you are and a brief sketch (words or picture) of what you look like. You do not need to generate statistics, although you may if you wish. Once your character is done, step up to the bar and order a drink or chat up the other patrons.
Mavy is currently on duty. He is a large red faced man with grizzled brown hair and a small tattoo of a tear drop underneath his ear. He smells of fresh hops and salt. Tulip is waiting tables currently. She is a short stout woman with a clean, worn brown dress, pristine white apron and her hair is up. She walks as though her feet hurt. Rose and Wisteria are having a quiet conversation with Amethyne in her office. You can hear but not see them as her office door is cracked a little. At one long table, a ship's crew is celebrating making it here. At two others, two men are pointedly ignoring each other and drinking steadily. A heavily armed woman is seated with a young girl. She looks at the door expectantly from time to time.
