4. The Hitching Post An inn, tavern, pawnshop and social outlet all in one, the Hitching Post was crafted by a few long-forgotten elves and is now run by a meriad of sociable and interesting folk. Former adventurers, storytellers, and anyone with anything worth selling come by the post at one time or another. The shopkeeper, Durham Shortchange, often flurts and converses with the patrons and has been known to offer odd jobs for enterprising adventurers.
