The Inn at the End of Things

“A vessel can still be worthy of water, even when it’s not perfect.”

A bit of spring cleaning.  We find the Inn being turned upside down with furniture being moved and corners cleaned.  We meet Haru, a traveler wearing an odd hat and carrying an odder tale.  We are reminded to respect nature and its tricksters, that drunken boasting has little place in the wilder parts of the world, and that jumping to conclusions can be disastrous ...

“Home can be discovered in small places too.” 

This week, we meet Cian, the coat room attendant who shares the deep poetry of togetherness and new community in his playful tale - The Bremen Town Musicians.

“It is a good thing to share light, and shadows, with a friend who can see with more than their eyes.” 

In the deepest room of The Inn, we meet Sitka, a mysterious voice in the dark, who shares a warm light and tells the tale of The Rough Face Girl.

“Home is a place that you choose where you are chosen.” 

A picturesque spring sunset at the Inn. The Keeper leads us to the warm barn to help Eliza the Stablemaster feed and care for the animals they keep at the Inn. Eliza tells us the story of her six siblings and herself - how they were turned to swans and how she worked over the years to free them. The home they’ve found in the Inn. The homes we find in each other and the importa...

“Why get stuck in mud when you shine like the sun?”

A rumbling Thunderstorm at the Inn. The Keeper introduces us to Arlyn, the laundress for the Inn.  She takes us up to the Grand Ballroom, tucked away in the broom closet on the 4th floor, reserved for guests from the Irrational Realms. We meet the visiting ghost of the Ballroom, the Duchess von Dallion.  She tells us the story of how Brer Rabbit tricked the Family with the race he ...

“When you are blessed to love a wild heart, the real gift is letting it swim free.”

We arrive at the Inn to find the Keeper in the midst of a mild flood and she sends us up to the bathroom on the seventh floor, where we surprise Andora, the maitre'd of the Inn.  She shows us the beauty of the bathroom and we promise her secret is safe with us as she sneaks back from a break. While drawing the water up to the perfect bath, we look t...

"Remember to guard your grove well."

We arrive at the Inn on a pleasant winter evening and a birthday.  We are introduced to Cook’s grandchild, Tol and we help blow out candles on the beautiful apple cake that Cook has made. Tol is very persuasive and entices us into a game of hide and seek.  We hide in the enormous cabinet we find built into the wall under the second staircase and discover it is already occupied by a wood...

A busy night at the Inn with many mouths to feed.  The Keeper takes us to the kitchen and we meet Kath the Potswife, who helps keep the Inn’s magical kitchen shipshape. As we help with the soup, we hear the Cree Nation’s tale of how Dogs and Humans came to live together and remember that we are tamed by those we would tame.  We add a pinch of spice to the broth, pat a friendly pup or two and are reminded how we nourish those around...

A cold night at the Inn. We recognize the costumes we wear and trust the inner instinct to avoid foxes wearing wolves’ clothing. We meet one of the long-term guests: Mane Halfour, Paladin of the Evenlight, hired blade and a wary, weary, were-y sort of fellow.” We sneak away to the attic for quilts and blankets and hear the Siberian tale of The Nomad Wolf. We wish on a star through the attic window and snuggle deep into the blanket ...
