FH Bases

Spells and monsters have been done to death, almost... so lets try our hands at some real estate. To kick things off, here is one I made for a low-point/low-fantasy game recently. You may want to replace the distinctive features with something more appropriate to your own setting.

This kiva might belong to a single shaman, or be shared by many. In either case, whoever's guarding it may have to contend with other wandering shamans stopping by with a desire to consult the spirits, as well as providing their meager hospitality to others that the spirits guide there, or those who come seeking advice. Often, dealing with these visitors is viewed by the spirits as a test of the occupants' worthiness, as much as the journey was a test of the visitor.

Description:
The Dragon Inn is a small drinking establishment based at the rural outskirts of a large city. It is frequented by traders and tinkers, merchants and the odd mariner. The inn serves both food and drink at reasonable prices. It offers no rooms, with the loft upstairs comprising of rooms for the family and the lower common room sleeping any servants or the odd guest.

The Dragon Inn was inspired by and based on the Hirst Arts Model of the same name. For more information, pictures, etc. check out their website:

My only association to them is that I have built and enjoy some of their structures.
