Kicking off 2026...in a tavern.

The Hearth. From the outside, a modest tavern. But as you step through the doors, you realize the space has been magically altered to be much larger on the inside, you suspect by the strange clockwork like device glowing above the bar. As you take in the tavern, you notice a number of doors lining the exterior walls; but don't remember seeing any on the outside of the building.

For starters just to be very clear, these maps are not the same size. The interior is 2x the size of the exterior, and the exterior dimensions are based off the Mike Schley perspective map and the wonderful top-down Marco Bernardini map. Sources say the interior is 3x the size, but I had to modify that because 3x was just too big and I started to lose the feel of a cozy library-adjacent tavern; even 2x was stretching it.

Sources as always contained conflicting information; even in the same source. For example, "30 people could dine here comfortably at any time"; yet, the bar can seat 20, there are a dozen chairs around the fire, and round tables have chairs and rectangular tables have benches. So as always, we just kind of roll with it and fudge some details.

I've also included maps for the demiplane spaces connected to the tavern: shrines to Denir, Gond and Milil and private rentable meeting rooms.
