Name	Text
Barnethei	Roughly thirteen days after founding The Explorer’s Haven, Barnethei was in the rhythm of his new inn. It wasn’t perfect; the new Haven was so small he’d run out of things to do, and he had decided to till some more soil or go riding to find something new to try and cook up in the kitchens.
Manus	They were an elite serving staff. If you compared them to soldiers, they were like Manus’ special forces—any one of them could hold down a regular inn with their Skills.
[Sweep the Tables]	[Sweep the Tables] from Paveca could clear half the tables filled with dishes instantly and deposit all the dishes in the kitchen, ready for washing. Navien, the [Head Cleaner], was even more impressive, and she had Skills in cleaning and management; she could use [Systematic Warfare: Shared Intelligence (Inn)]. What that meant was anyone in her team would see every stain, un-bused plate, waiting customer, or unattended cooking pot glow in their vision if someone had noticed it.

[Strategist]	It was the kind of thing a [Strategist] got for, well, war. All of it meant that The Explorer’s Haven, a single building, wasn’t nearly big enough for the eighteen-person crew that had been left to attend it.
Barnethei	It was a mix, actually, of working harder than they’d like and not having enough to do. Barnethei had put in more elbow grease these last few days than he had in years, which he knew would happen, but it was a bit—frustrating for him and the staff.
Navien	Because of the lack of magic. It was a waste to have Navien spot-cleaning one area when she could normally have an enchanted broom and sweep across the entire Haven by herself. Similarly, Barnethei could man a bar, pour drinks, and clean taps—but normally he was a bit more magical.

[Vice Innkeeper of Spells]	He was a [Vice Innkeeper of Spells]! It wasn’t for show; Barnethei had taken over smaller inns as practice for this day, and anywhere else he could conjure eight [Arcane Familiars] who’d be swooping around performing chores, casting spells to amuse the audience, or just whatever needed doing!

[Speed]	If not for the New Lands, he would already have used magic to terraform the earth and make the walls higher, prepare new ground for more buildings, or cast a permanent magical umbrella to mitigate the rain and mud everyone tracked in. Dead gods, he could have purified water, used a [Speed] spell to race around exploring…
Larracel Delais	Instead, all his mana was going to keeping bare-bones spells running in the inn thanks to his Skills. Which still put him ahead of most unlucky teams, given Larracel’s mana well, but it chafed.
Barnethei	Nevertheless, Barnethei felt like the inn was doing well enough to expand and commented that to Navien.

Larracel Delais	“A Mage’s Guild. I’ve sent Larra a [Message] about it, and it seems to me that’s what these new groups need the most. Now that word’s spread, everyone’s coming to us for magic.”

Barnethei	Barnethei’s white undershirt was rolled up to his elbows, and he was cleaning the mess off the bar as Navien swept around him with a mop. There was a liberal coating of dirt from the last group eating and drinking merrily in the common room; everyone was muddier thanks to the lack of roads and spring rains. But spirits were high.
