Inn of the Slumbering Serpent The World of Greyhawk & The World of Greyhawk Wiki The current year for our World of Greyhawk campaign is set during 579CY. Inspired By Gary Gygax

The Inn of the Slumbering Serpent serves as the social heart of Orlane and one of the few places where warmth and fellowship still thrive despite the growing unease hanging over the village. Travelers, merchants, farmers, hunters, and townsfolk gather here each evening to enjoy a hot meal, a comfortable bed, and a mug of ale while exchanging news, singing songs, gambling, and sharing stories.

Though smaller and older than the Golden Grain Inn, the Slumbering Serpent possesses a charm all its own. Its colorful sign depicts a red dragon sleeping peacefully with smoke curling from its nostrils, while flower beds brighten the weathered exterior and offer visitors a welcoming first impression. The inn is owned and operated by Belba Cralloon and her husband Ollwin.

Known simply as "Bell" by most locals, Belba works tirelessly to keep the establishment clean, organized, and inviting, while Ollwin oversees the kitchen and dining service. Both are genuinely friendly people who treat strangers and regular patrons alike with warmth and hospitality. Their staff of cooks, servers, and cleaners work hard to maintain the inn's reputation as one of the finest establishments in the region.

Most evenings, visitors will find Jacobe Cralloon, affectionately known as "Old Joe", tending bar. The elderly grandfather of Belba has helped run the family business ever since the death of her parents and has become one of the village's most beloved figures. Possessing a quick wit and an endless supply of stories, Old Joe serves as the inn's unofficial ambassador, happily sharing local gossip, advice, and conversation with anyone willing to listen. While Belba manages the daily operations and Ollwin supervises the dining room, Old Joe ensures every guest feels welcome. The interior is warm, comfortable, and filled with character. The Cralloon family has decorated the inn with salvaged relics, colorful stained-glass chandeliers, flower-filled planters, carved wooden furnishings, and other curios collected over the years.

A massive brick hearth dominates the common room, casting a welcoming glow over the sturdy tables and well-stocked bar. A job board near the entrance offers work to travelers, while a wandering bard named Relithor occasionally provides entertainment in exchange for room and board. Upstairs, ten clean and comfortable guest rooms await visitors, each furnished with a bed, washstand, blankets, towels, chair, and chamber pot. In a village increasingly touched by fear and suspicion, the Slumbering Serpent remains a rare refuge where good food, friendly faces, and a warm fire still provide comfort against the darkness beyond its doors.
