As you open the door, the first thing that catches the eye are the twin fireplaces, one on either side of the room. They blaze merrily, and never seem to need any more wood, each being large enough for a man to almost lie down in.

Then, one tends to notice that the inside is much, much larger than the outside. Which most people don't mind. The roof is supported by fourteen solid oak columns, carved to resemble great trees, and have live ivy growing on them. Scattered around are various chairs and tables, and beside each fireplace, forming a nice half-circle, are several comfy sofas. All over the commons are several large bean-bag cusions.

The bar itself is inlaid with mahogony and mithril, for durability and beauty. We serve hot and cold drinks, alcholic and non. The Barkeep is Sir DrunkenDeath, who is more than qualified for the job.
