The door to 'The Hammer and Mug' creaks open, revealing Iron Ale, his beard bristling with pride, standing behind the worn wooden bar. He looks up from polishing a mug and nods in your direction.
"Welcome, stranger! What brings ye to me humble establishment? If it’s a drink ye seek, I’ve the finest ale this side of the Iron Peaks. And if it’s news ye want, well, I’ve plenty of stories to share, too. What’ll it be?"
His eyes twinkle with warmth and invitation, ready to share a tale or two over a drink.
