The '''Inn of Wayward Sages''' was a cozy, but rundown inn found in the [[Northbank]] of [[Silverymoon]]. It was located on the northwest corner of the city block where [[Bowshot Ride]] met the [[Ghostwalk (street)|Ghostwalk]].<ref group="note">This specific location refers to the [[Wayward House]], which was built over the ruins of the Inn of Wayward Sages.</ref><ref name="SM-p56">{{Cite book/Silver Marches|56}}</ref>

==Description==
While the inn's food was particularly tasty, its furnishings were old and far from comfortable. The whole building had a persistent chill that even a roaring fireplace could not fully alleviate.<ref name="VGtN-p178">{{Cite book/Volo's Guide to the North|178}}</ref>

==History==
Some time shortly before [[1366 DR]], the inn was badly damaged in a fire and had to be (at least partially) rebuilt.<ref name="VGtN-p178"/> Yet again, between then and [[1372 DR]], it was completely destroyed in another blaze. After the second time the inn ran ablaze, it was completely rebuilt in the same location and renamed the [[Wayward House]].<ref name="SM-p56"/>

==Rumors==
There were several local stories as to how the inn acquired its name. The most common explanation was that the inn was simply a favored rest stop for [[sage]]s to get away from their studies and enjoy the tastes and talk of the town.<ref name="VGtN-p178"/> 

A more ribald tale was the persistent rumor that the inn was built and financed by the famously beautiful escort [[Meereldil Shorncrown]]. Her clientele, interestingly enough was primarily sages from the local [[magic]]al colleges and devoted followers from the temple of [[Oghma]]. Lending credence to this story, Meereldil did spend her last days within the inn,<ref name="VGtN-p178"/> and a woman by the name of [[Jhalessa Shorncrown]] did serve as chamberlain of the Wayward House.<ref name="SM-p56"/>
