A small gnome named Fosco is responsible for the upkeep of the establishments of the Tavern and Inn. He has to keep long known enchantments reinforced. Keep in mind, the members have chosen to live during a simpler time, and this enchantment keeps forces and weapons unknown to it from operating. Mind you, one can see and touch them, but they will simply not function.

Description: This is probably one of the more frequented buildings located on the Iron Knight grounds. Tucked away behind the inn and between the stables, the two story building is often boasting with voices and song. A heavy wooden door blocks the cold or heat from the outside. Like all the other buildings, the interior walls are made of a dark grey stone with wood support beams. The interior floor is a hard wood cypress, a yellow toned wood with multiple knots visible with the cracks filled with filth and mud from many feet walking on the surface.

The tavern is a two story building with a balcony overlapping half the tables on the first floor causing darkness for the shadow dwellers. When entering the tavern, the bar, made of white oak, is located against the left wall where most of the drinks are kept on the lower shelves. Behind the bar on the floor is a trap door that leads to the cellar where most of the beverages are kept stored and cool. On shelves that are visible are stacks of mugs that the bartenders reach easily and fill the patron's cups. A few seats are located up against the counter of the bar. The rest of the space is fill with tables and chairs for most customers to sit. Paintings, weapons, and armor shields cover the walls where windows aren't letting in space and wooden chandeliers hang to add more light when nightfall stretches across the land. A large fireplace is against the wall where the kitchen is so they both equal as a source of heat and cooking.

Description: The inn is the largest building located right on the road. A small wooden door blocks the entrance into a large, but cozy reception area. Feeling that equality doesn't just mean an equal in status, each room of the inn is equal in size and furnishings. There is a an oak staircase that curves slightly from the right at the bottom. The floors are hard wood red oak upstairs and down and in the rooms. Each room has upon the floor a light green persian rug close to the foot of the cherry wood bed. A washstand is located near a door that leads to a private levi with a beautiful black and white pitcher and bowl resting inside. Straight across from it is the cherry wood armoire where guests and keep their clothes. During the colder months, the fireplace can be lit to warm the room. The fireplace is arcoss from the bed. These rooms give a very pleasant and cosy feeling to the inhabitiants.

The stable, which was built before the inn, has been used for everything but a stable up until Evelyn and Aidian arrived and cleaned it out. Most of the old paintings and knick knacks around the walls came from the stalls. Now however, they are always in demand for horse stalling. Hay litters the ground all around and all inside the building and the smell of manure wafts around the whole building. Inside the dimly lit stable, the two stable hands can be found cleaning the horses and the floors. Their room doubles as the tack room, and every saddle that is not in use is kept safely in there. Two guards are posted outside the large double doors to make sure no horse is stolen and to help the stable boys if a horse starts acting crazy.

The stable is perpendicular ((connected like an "L" wink ) to the inn, sheltering the tavern in the middle. The building is made of the same dark stone as the other buildings, but they have a light green moss from the rain and moisture. A dirt path leads from the front of the inn around the side of the stables and to the door in the back for the horses.

Name: Evelyn Nyht
Nicknames: Eve, Evie, Eevee
Age: 4674 (Looks 25)
Race: Aenklesus
Eye: Brown-Green Mismatched (Left Green, Right Brown)
Hair: Dark Red
Height: 5'1" // 154.94cm
Weight: 110lbs // 49.8949kg

Appearance: For something as small as her, she draws quite a bit attention from her appearance. Standing just a little over five feet, she's of slim build and often dressed in a dress of this style, but in an assortment of colors. She wears simple black slippers that make little sound upon the ground. When she is out on a mission, her usual dress is a dark forest green, tight fitting top and tight clad black pants with soft, well-worn leather boots. It's not her dress sence that catches other's eyes, but ther physical looks with long dark red hair. Her skin has taken on a golden glow that draws even more attention to her mismatched eyes. And she is never seen without her necklace that hangs low between her breasts.

Background: The Aenklesus, had lived for centuries, thriving and gathering the knowledge and history of other cultures. The average life span was roughly 6000 years, when the elders appeared to be in their 30s to humans. Their aging is very different from other races though. The children mature as all do, growing and developing normally. It slowly begins to slow down until they look the age of 12 to 14 where every 200 years equals one year to humans.

The Elves called them "Commae N'ner Edan," Timeless Man because they did not appear to age as rapidly as man. They would, in time, but they had the ages like the Elves. The two would often be found together, debating about historical facts and teaching one another wizardry and fighting techniques.

Born a little more than half a millennium ago, Evelyn had a very simple life. She had a normal family, mother, father, and an older brother. It was a very warm and loving environment, teaching her to have patience and compassion for all around her. They passed on an appreciation of nature and all things that came from the earth they walked upon.

When she was 1000 years old, she was sent to a lone community to learn the ways of magic and fighting. She was best with the elements because she had a deeper connection than any who had passed through the town and training. Her gifts were remarkable and just gazing down upon a stone, she could identify the root element is contained within.

She was taught swordsmanship, but she lacked the strength behind it. So she was taught several different techniques. Her agility was remarkable after a few centuries of training, so she would move in quickly and swing when there was an opening. Under no circumstances was she to block with her sword for the vibration and sudden numbing would make her swings weaker.

Evelyn was much better with the close combat strategies; stealth was required for all of them. Her handy work was with a dagger. Footsteps as quiet as a feather's fall and then a suddenly heat of a blade across the throat, one porcelain hand pressed firmly against the mouth to muffle the cry. Then a quick blow to the gut, twisting it as she pulled out of the body, crimson staining the blade. She carried three upon herself, each concealed in easy access areas for if anyone should ever draw to close.

Between studying dusty spell books and exhausting her body from training, she would curl up with one of the many history books that lined the wall of her room. She studied the ways of the old, things that most cannot recall and do not know. But sitting idly and allowing the world to pass her by while she gained more skills was trying on her free-spirited soul.

Evelyn finally passed all her training when she was well over 2000 years and finally left the village, but not returning home. She sent a letter to her family speaking of her yearning to travel and see the world up close than through the volumes of books or the passing words of a traveler.

She journeyed all over the known world, starting where Scotland is now. She traveled upon a ship and explored the old world of Ireland with the tribal people journeyed without unification. But soon, the French and German lands called to her, speaking of a culture of peaceful yet simple community, the Celts.

Evelyn was fascinated by these people. They gave power to their women, were simple farmers, but lacked a political structure. Their knowledge of the earth astounded her and she spent many years in their company, learning the craftsmanship of weave and metal work. The knots intrigued her and were just as symbolic to her as to them.

Her journeys lead her all over the European world, learning from the Greeks, the Romans, the Egyptians, and then Christianity began to spread. The word of the mouth was finding faster, more reliable ways to reach travelers and it was then that she learned of her parents' death.

She began her way home, a sad and heavy heart as she went. She could sense an impending doom, but shrugged it off. When her eyes caught the sight of where she had once grown up at, there was nothing there. Barren trees and nothing but ruins laid about the land. Her people were now one with the histories of all others. And so she traveled the world alone, never knowing that she was another prey.

User ImageName: Aidian Kyros
Race: Royal Guard
Age: 26

Appearance: Aidian is about 5' 9" tall. He is muscular but not not much. Just barely visible. He has dark brown hair, almost black that covers the right half of his face most of the time. It is straight and light, with a soft texture. He has a tough, but at the same time gentle face most of the time. His eyes are eletric blue, but depending on his mood, they change from dark to light to dull to bright. His clothes are light gray and white, but are covered by his light blue armor.
This is a small example of what his armor looks like:

Bio: I was born in Ark city, two years after my brother. For the first year of my life, I was happy, as was my entire family. Our town was not stricken with famine, disease or fear. Everything was going great. Until the Great War.

Lead by the dark lord, Praxis, the armies of men and orcs descended upon Ark City, as well as the City of the Saints and Ryushima (Dragon City). Anyone man of age was sent to fight, and my father was one of them. He left, and became a general. but in the second year of the war, he was killed by Praxis. With his death, the men began to lose hope and fell back. Father Alexander, later the man who raised me as his own, stood and said, "What men are you? Would you have retreated if General Kyros was here! NO! Do not falter! For he is here in spirit! Push forward and hold the lines!" And so they did, and they defeated the enemies. My sister and I were seperated however, because Praxis himself was not defeated. The people of Ark City feared he wold come back and kill us. She was sent to Ryushima, and I was taken to the City of the Saints, were I was raised by Father Alexander.

For the next fears years, until I was fifteen, I learned the monks ways, as well as smithing, swordplay, and defense. I was an excellent student, and many people thought well of me. Then one night, Alexander gave me my fathers diary, and told me the story. I left and went in search of his killer. Not for revenge, but as a last wish of my father's. I met friends and enemies along the way. I have yet to find Praxis, and I know now that he has a new general under his command. Li Merquise. Possibly greater than any other warrior in history. If Praxis dies, Li takes over. And Li will be worse than Praxis, for he is a God.

Hair: Brown

Height: 3'0" // 91.44cm
Weight: 37lbs // 16.7828kg

This is the small gnome who is seen about the grounds of the Iron Knight mumbling enchantments under his breath and cursing the current owners because he remains loyal to the original owners that started the business. He wears grubby brown rags that seem to have never been washed in all his years. Even if you try to be charitable to him, he'll simply turn his nose away and deny the gifts. cc TheEveoftheNight

Bartenders
Name: Ianros Fletcher
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Hazel
Height: 5'9" // 175.26 cm
Weight: 180lbs //81.6462kg

Ianros is a man who once had dreams and aspiritions of becoming a hero. But his laziness caused him to stray down the wrong pathes and associate with the wrong people. At first it seemed fun, but as the years wore on, his happiness drained along with all chances of a bright future. Once he realized this, he crawled inside a bottle of ale and had been there ever since. When the alcohol nearly killed him, Ianros stopped drinking and began to clean up his act. He joined Aidian and Evelyn at the bar as a tender. cc Royal Guard Aidian Kyros

Name: Lucia
Age: 27 in half-elf years
Gender: Female
Race: Half Elf
Hair: Long, black
Eyes: Silver
Height: 5'2" // 157.48cm
Weight: 101lbs // 45.8126kg

Lucia, which is her nickname, resides in the local tavern as the bartender. It doesn't take much aside from her quick wit and quick hands to keep the regular patrons in order. While her tongue is sharp, it is also witty and she can easily out-reason the most stubborn of drunks or keep the surly barbarians in a light mood. cc Kokoryta

Waiters
Name: Horril Carter
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Elf
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Honey
Height: 5'5" // 165.1cm
Weight: 145lbs // 65.7706kg

With his charming looks, he's able to make any person think he's a sweet and innocent, but that's a nice exterior. He's really a bad boy at heart, willing to snip your purse from your pocket without you even noticing that it's gone. He's been on the ropes for the last few months, so there is a possibility of him getting removed permenantly from the Iron Knight grounds. cc TheEveoftheNight

Name: Xanward Mongoth
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Orc
Hair: Black
Eyes: Yellow
Height: 6'4" // 193.04cm
Weight: 228lbs // 103.419kg

He's not the most handsome gentleman within the tavern, but he's mostly there as security to be sure that no one stiffs the servers of their pay and tips. With his gruff attitude and voice, he causes even the toughest of warriors to cringe in fear and feel the hairs prickle at the thoughts damage his massive hands can do. But he's really tender at heart and gentle around those he protects. cc TheEveoftheNight

Gender: Female
Race: Halfling
Hair: Straight and Black.
Eyes: Brown
Height: 2'9" // 83.82cm
Weight: 30lbs // 13.6077kg

Lyth may be small, but her attitude is larger then life,. She may act sweet and kind for the most part - yet when riled she is a force to be reckoned with. Having grown up in a port area she has the mouth of a sailor when angry and can easily make people much bigger then her back down in a verbal match. Despite the way she is when angered, on the norm she seems almost happy go lucky, enjoying to mingle with patrons. cc Strawberry Lube

Gender: Female
Race: High Elf
Hair: Long Golden Blonde
Eyes: Dark Blue/Midnight Blue
Height: 5'3" // 160.02cm
Weight: 115lbs // 52.1628kg

If you were to look in the dictionary for dumb blonde, you'd see her picture posted next to the definition. With her luscious frame and flawless skin, the men usually seem to tip her more than the servers and always beckon for her, but that doesn't make her turn her nose at them. She loves being showered with attention and roaming hands. Sometimes, she'll get so caught up in what a patron is doing that she'll forget to do her job. The other servers tend to remind her of her duties though. cc TheEveoftheNight

Inn Clerk
Name: Neasa Parthalan Ishtar
Age: Unknown
Gender: Unknown
Race: Mulmorphius
Hair: Silver with pink highlights (female) or Brown with silver highlights (male)
Eyes: Violet (female) or Green (male)
Height: 5'4" // 86.36cm
Weight: 120lbs // 54.4308kg

Neasa is normally found in one form or the other, switching between genders and making it difficult to tell whether it's a man or a woman, but Neasa is capible of making it seem like two work the Inn with its morphing ability. Neasa is a generally quirky person, the type you'd want to strangle with the constant questions, but it gives great service all the same. It's always flirty with whoever walks in the door and is able to sense the preference a person might have. cc TheEveoftheNight

Height: 5'6" // 167.64cm
Weight: 125lbs // 56.6987kg

Although she is a very beautiful person, don't be fooled by her looks. This perfectionist will tan you hind if you dirty her floors. But she is a kind person at heart and fun to talk to. She grew up only knowing her human father, but she is happy to have even a small family. She's always up to chatting, just as long as she doesn't have a large mess to clean beforehand. cc caranfirithwen

Hair: Both brown
Eyes: (Darius- Green) (Monius- Haze)
Height: Both 5' 1" // 154.94cm
Weight: Both about 100 lbs // 45.359kg

The twin boy and girl were born no more than five minutes apart. Their mother died at birth and their father raised them himself. He taught them all about horses; how to handle them, to care for and clean them, and then how to ride them. They themselves owned a pure blood Andalusian that they would ride when business was slow. But when it is time to work, they both outdo themselves in being curteous and careful with the other horses. cc Royal Guard Aidian Kyros

Graven is a plump half human half dwarven cook who has worked for the inn ever since it was established. He is an excellent cook and can make any kind of meal asked for so long as he has the supplies to do such. His happiness is matched only by his generousity and cooking abilties. cc Royal Guard Aidian Kyros

TalenK - He gave feedback on whether the tavern was more role-play or commerce. He even gave a few tips and hints. I owe him a big thank you for the time he took for this tavern.
Kokoryta - If it hadn't have been for her minor OCs, the brief profile of the NPCs wouldn't exist. She also took time out to create one of our bartenders.
Strawberry Lube - She was willing to be our first patron to the tavern, but her time on GAIA came to an end. For that I love her, plus she made one of our NPCs. We will miss her here on GAIA.
caranfirithwen - She was the first to leap up and help with the NPCs and has been looking forward to this opening. This wouldn't have been completed without her insight and help.
Royal Guard Aidian Kyros - For allowing Eve the ability to get on his account and putting up with the obsession. He also helped with several of the NPCs and bounced ideas.
TheEveoftheNight - For all the hard work she did and recreating a more subtle and easier way to view role-players. She also helped with a few of the NPCs and did a lot of the research. She deserves a big hand.
