Hearty Harvest

The Hearty Harvest is a restaurant and inn located in Elton. It is co-owned by Tony Child and Gildrak Steelbrand.

History

The spark of an idea that would eventually become the Hearty Harvest began while Tony closed down his previous restaurant in Elme and began a pilgrimage to Edras in search of more bountiful resources and ingredients. Mid-journey, Tony came across a campfire in a small forest clearing outside of Wellspring and met the dwarf Gildrak. He was just about to begin preparing dinner for the night, so Tony naturally offered to help out. They spent the dinner discussing their new found admiration for each other - Gildrak raving about Tony's cooking and Tony complimenting Gildrak on having some of the finest pots and pans he had ever cooked with (which turned out to be handcrafted by Gildrak himself).

They quickly became friends on their short journey and decided that their meeting must not have been a coincidence. They were meant to work together and thus Tony decided to continue with Gildrak and change his destination to Elton. They rented room and board at a local inn known as The Rat & Troll which they learned was a fortuitous choice after talking with the owner for awhile. Her name was Alenka Martikov and she was now the sole proprietor after her husband's untimely disappearance while returning from Hammerton on supply run. She had been doing her best to keep the business going but running both the inn and the tavern by herself was beginning to take a toll. After hearing that the decision had been made to shut down the Rat and Troll in a few weeks time, Tony jumped at the opportunity – let the two of them lighten the load by taking over the tavern portion while Alenka continued to run just the inn portion. A few days later, the deal was finalized and plans were put into motion to transform The Rat and Troll into what is now known as the Hearty Harvest.

(still to come, the first two years in business!)
