Weeping Willow Inn

Lying at the edge of Mere of Dead Men, the Weeping Willow Inn is the only refuge for miles around — and it is a frequent stop for travelers of that part of the High road. The inn received its name from the nearby forest; the winds brushing through the leaves would make a whaling sound.

The Weeping Willow has gained a certain unpleasant reputation amongst its visitors. Some say the wild creeps in from the woods on snowy nights. Others say that a young girl has been strangled under the floorboards of the cellar. Either way, it is a dreary and desolate place: the innkeeper Jorik spends most of his evenings drinking alone in the bar, and guests are few and far between on the hard, winter-bound road. Any travelers stumbling into the warmth of the rooms, caught out in the storm, are sure to have more on their minds than a good night’s sleep. Despite its reputation however, adventurers and sellswords from the south are sure to stop by here on their way to Neverwinter, as such, the locals are known to make good business.

Meryn's Caravan
Meryn is a local trader who routinely goes to Waterdeep and Neverwinter in the warmer months to gather goods.

Though he remains at the inn while the roads are clear, he retires to West Harbour during snowfall.

Meryn’s special stock:

• Alchemist’s fire

• Gnomish toys

• Potion of healing (4)

• Spellbook (CL 3 Illusionist)

• Spyglass

Harrow's Farm
Dlotho owns a fairly large farm in the locals of the Weeping Willow and several of his children work at the inn. The farm carries cattle, sheep, chickens, corn and vegetables.

Since the beginnings of the Black Howling and the disappearances along the High Road, some of his crops have begun to fail, tainted by blight.
