The Way Inn was a famous landmark on the Trade Way. It stood roughly 100 miles northwest of Dragonspear Castle.

Ownership
The proprietor of the inn was Dauravyn Redbeard.

Description
It was a large walled compound on the western side of the Trade Way. There were three large gates with gatehouses. Each gatehouse was the size of a small keep. The inn was made of stone with a tile roof and topped with a lookout tower. There were many stone houses that were the residences for the staff and ancillary business of the inn. The inn had a standing guard of 21 warriors.

History
The inn itself was rebuilt after an ancient black dragon leveled the structure and the surrounding village in 1363 DR. The village itself was not rebuilt, but the rebuilding effort for the fortified inn was sponsored by several merchant families based in Waterdeep.
