Three Apple Tavern

Nyari Suzu, cat-folk bartender from Orochi. Nyari is a real people cat-person, always ready to lend a listening ear or talk yours off, depending on what you need. She happily throws back a glass when someone buys a round and has been known to dance across the bar and sing by the end of the night. She never forgets a face or a name.

Mae "Applejack" Cooper, serving wench from Eleph. She is a very hard worker and, while not Blooded, quite tall and muscular for a woman, a reminder of her life back on the farm. It usually falls to her to haul casks up from the cellar or toss rowdy patrons out the front door. If business is slow or everyone is too quiet, she will sometimes play the fiddle the liven up the room (happy guests buy more drinks, as Mr. Greenhill says).

Heribert Greenhill owns the tavern but most of the day-to-day functions are handled by Nyari and Mae with assistance from the kids. The tavern is known for some of the best food anywhere, not just the Keep. It is named for its three apple specialties, which they brew in the cellar: apple cider, apple wine, and apple brandy. Outside the tavern, south of the inn and the fountain, stands a magical apple tree that fruits year-round and produces multiple varieties of apple. The Tavern Special consists of baked apples served with a trio of cored apples holding a sampler of cider, wine, or brandy.
