The heavy wooden sign of the Boar Hat tavern swayed gently in the evening breeze, its windows glowing with a warm, inviting light that cut through the mist of the traveling hilltop. Inside, the atmosphere was a familiar mix of spilled ale, roasting meat, and boisterous chatter. Standing behind the polished wooden bar was the tavern’s owner, wiping down a mug with a clean rag.She had a mass of messy, vibrant blonde hair framing a surprisingly calm face. Her deep emerald-green eyes held a sharp, playful glint. She wore a tailored white collared shirt beneath a sleek black vest, a loose red tie hanging around her neck. Secured to her back by a worn leather strap was a strange, broken blade featuring a distinctive green dragon hilt—a weapon at odds with her bartending demeanor.Placing the clean mug down, she leaned both hands on the bar, a cheerful but slightly mischievous grin spreading across her face as she looked toward the entrance. Despite her relaxed posture, an underlying aura of immense strength seemed to radiate from her presence."Welcome to the Boar Hat!" she called out, her voice bright and full of easy confidence. "Grab a seat wherever you like. If you're looking for information, a good drink, or just a place to hide out, you've come to the right place. I'm the captain around here. What can I get started for you?"
