Scarlet Raven Tavern

The Scarlet Raven Tavern is the social center and primary inn of Darkshire, offering hearthside shelter in the gloom of Duskwood. Presided over by Tavernkeep Smitts, it serves as a gathering spot for beleaguered locals, passing adventurers, and terrified travelers trying to escape the horrors lurking beyond the town's perimeter.

Standing near the heart of Darkshire, the Scarlet Raven Tavern keeps its hearth ablaze while eternal dusk chokes the surrounding forest. Years ago, it was a bustling stop where Marshal Haggard and the Stormwind Guard would share pints after patrols. Today, business has withered alongside the town's security. Tavernkeep Smitts tends bar for a somber, anxious clientele huddled against the cold and fear. Even so, the tavern remains an indispensable crossroads for rumors, serving as the starting point for travelers seeking answers to the dark phenomena consuming the region.
