Alanaerle was the proprietor of the Weary Knight Inn in Arabel, Cormyr,[1] in the mid-to-late 14th century DR.[2]
Description[]
Alanaerle was a large human woman with a personality just as big. She was considered unattractive, and her face was said to have scared children. Alanaerle was always jolly and hospitable. She was a lover of romantic tales and ballads with happy endings, often giving half-off discounts to traveling bards and minstrels in exchange for a performance.[2]
Possessions[]
Alanaerle's prized possession was her roadhouse – the Weary Knight Inn. The inn was possibly the most average establishment in the Realms, according to Volothamp Geddarm. The Knight's namesake was an unopened tomb of a knight that dated to times of antiquity. Alanaerle guarded the carved tomb and its undiscovered contents with passion.[2][1]
Relationships[]
The inn's proprietor was devoted to the Lady Lord of Arabel, Myrmeen Lhal, and provided free lodgings and food for those in possession of the Lady Lord's special black onyx rings.[1]
History[]
By the Year of the Turret, 1360 DR, Alanaerle was already the proprietor of the Weary Knight Inn that stood directly to the east from the Citadel and three blocks away from the city's Eastgate.[3] In 1360 DR, Alanaerle provided food and room for a small group of adventurers tasked by Myrmeen Lhal with the investigation into a series of wizard murders in Arabel.[1]
As of the Year of the Banner, 1368 DR, Alanaerle and her establishment remained open and popular. Volothamp Geddarm listed the inn in his Guide to Cormyr and complemented Alanaerle for her pleasant attitude.[2]
