Hard work meant something to Barnethei. He’d been a boy, fourteen years old and tiny as could be, when he’d first reached The Adventurer’s Haven—run by a retired [Wizard] and Named-rank adventurer—and begged for the free piece of bread and a job.

A raggedy kid with no prospects sitting in a magical inn as the [Innkeeper] looked him up and down, a short, black-skinned woman who didn’t seem like a former Named-rank, asking him where he’d come from and why he wanted to work for her.
Hard work had gotten him the job and his first real class. From that day, for the next twenty years, Barnethei had worked hard, and it had paid off.
Not fast, not all the time. Twenty years was an age, but at 34 years old, Barnethei was now a Level 42 [Vice Innkeeper of Spells]. Level 42—forty levels in twenty years. From nothing but a runaway kid to the face of Izril’s most famous and prosperous inn. He talked to nobility daily, he’d met more Named-ranks than most Adventurer’s Guild [Guildmasters] had, he’d entertained monarchs in the inn, and he was about to start his own inn with Larra’s blessing.

That’s why Barnethei valued hard work, you see. Hard work made things happen. It was also, incidentally, why he hated The Wandering Inn. Oh, he was sure they worked hard, but you had to compare his life, twenty years of backbreaking effort to reach his level, to…her.

Erin Solstice, who, if the rumors were true, had passed his level in two years flat. Which was impossible, it had to be. Or if it was true…it wasn’t fair, and he hated it. He didn’t hate her or even her inn, really, though it wasn’t up to his standards.
He hated the idea of her inn. The entire way it operated with that off-the-cuff chaos, the lack of organization, the spirited amateurishness of it all. Barnethei liked having the plan, executing the plan, and watching it all go according to said plan. His inn would have everything set. Staff, supplies, location, entertainment—the works.
He’d been prepping for this day for the last four years, and now it was coming true. Not as he’d thought, an inn around Invrisil or in one of the Walled Cities; somewhere even better.

The New Lands. Truly new lands, and he was poised to open an inn that would make both his and Larracel’s fortunes skyrocket. After all, if you could place an inn in an area that would become a major crossroads and establish yourself as the premier spot for adventurers and the important to mingle, then you’d monopolize the region.
That was the dream. He’d hit Level 50 before the age of 40, and Larra would have enough to retire on and bring all her friends into retirement with her, the Named-ranks she cared about. Then he might be managing two inns or a network of Havens, and from there? Four, five top-level inns across Izril? You’d pull so much gold and influence in you could do anything. Start a full guild for [Innkeepers], hire or buy out all the inns across Izril, upscale even more.
