The Helm at Highsun

A ramshackle two-story tavern in Red Larch, right across the Long Road from another inn (the Swinging Sword — the party has not been inside that one yet). The Helm is where locals drink, gossip, and tell stories. The party has come here repeatedly for rumors and drinks.

Sign	Large letters; rusting bucket-helm decoration on the signpost

What it looks like

• Outside: Rusty metal grills over small, dirty windows. A wooden sign with the tavern name; an oversized, rusting helm (like an upside-down washtub) tops the sign.
• Inside: A large, dim, wood-paneled taproom. Stairs lead up to a second floor and down to cellars. A long bar runs across the back, with copper candle-lanterns hanging over it.
• Atmosphere: Rowdy but ordinary — not fine dining. A gift of a drink tends to loosen tongues when asking around.
