Stormfeather Outpost

Here's Stormfeather Outpost.


Location: Stormfeather Outpost, The Hinterlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 65.91.45.22
Capacity: 12. Six on the main floor, six on the upper floor. All interactable.
Rooms: None.
Architectural Style: Dwarf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Keirnan, Grella Stonefist (General Goods)
Atmosphere: Dark, but not dreary. It feels like a base. There isn't much to say aside from that.
Amenities: Not much, you're kind of in the middle of nowhere.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
I've always been a fan of these little round Dwarven buildings, and I like that this one has a bunch of good chairs. It feels more like a meet-up spot than an actual inn though.


Wildhammer Keep

Okay, so this one's gigantic, so this post may be a bit lengthy.


Location: Aerie Peak, The Hinterlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 14.31.45.96
First off, this place has major rooms. These are:
The Left Dining Hall (left from the innkeeper)
The Right Dining Hall (right from the innkeeper)
The Barracks (either side from the innkeeper, but don't enter the dining halls, instead, turn into the room with the tanks. Then go straight back past the tanks into either door, go up the steps, and when you're upstairs, go into the barracks, not the room with the planes)
Lower Dining Hall (down the steps from the Right Dining Hall)
Main Hall (down the steps from either Dining Hall and then out into the big room)

I totally just made up these names for ease of writing this because this place is giant and confusing.

Capacity: I am not counting all the chairs in here. I'll go by the major rooms instead. The Left Dining Hall has 7 chairs. The three at the table are non-interactable and only one is sit-able. The four at the bar are interactable. The Right Dining Hall has 6 chairs. The table has three, two of which are interactable, the third is sit-able with some good positioning. The bar has three interactable seats. The Barracks has 7 chairs, three of which are non-interactable, but one is sit-able. The Lower Dining Hall has 5 chairs, one of which is non-interactable. The Main Hall has 9 chairs. One is non-interactable, and six are arranged in a nice meeting circle.

Rooms: The Barracks has no usable beds, disappointingly enough. Unless you can somehow manage to get onto one of the top bunks.
Architectural Style: Dwarf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Thulfram Truk Wildbear (Bartender, Left Dining Hall)
Atmosphere: This feels like a fortress, but a really nice fortress. It seems kind of homey too, in a weird way.
Amenities: Not much, aside from RP amenities like bar desks and such.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
I love this place, but it's in a really inconvenient location, and is kind of a sprawling mess. It's great though.

The Main Hall.

Thundermar Town

Okay, I love this town so much that I couldn't just do an inn post for it.

Location: Thundermar, Twilight Highlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 48.85.29.60
First off, I roleplay solely in my own head because I'm painfully shy, and I tend to prefer non-combat roleplay in general (in Skyrim I actually have a character that I play as a farmer, for example).

First off, one more thing about the inn that didn't fit into the inn post.

It's got a desk! Which I love!
Now to showcase the restaurant:


Upstairs has two tables, each with two seats. The Food & Drink Vendor doesn't sell anything particularly great, but think of the possibilities of this place. Downstairs there are two ramps going down. One goes down into a little mini brewery, and one into a bedroom.

Next up is the Brewery:

I'm such a sucker for shop desks.
This one has two seats by the fire, and six sit-able stools, three at tables and three at the bar. Downstairs is the brewery itself with all the kegs.

Here's the Shop:

Look, another desk!
This one has six benches and one stool at the desk, plus one sit-able stool behind the desk. I could see this being played as like an auction house or a shop / impromptu town hall.

Finally, we have the Hatchery:

Cute baby gryphons included.
Cute cute and with two sit-able stools.

I don't know, I just think this place is great. As I said in the inn post though, this place seems too good to be true and it probably gets destroyed in a quest. I'm not positive of that, but it just seems too perfect.

Thundermar Inn

Here's Thundermar Inn. Warning: I love this one. It's so cute and I just feel like it's probably something that gets destroyed during a questline or something. I've only gone through Twilight Highlands once and it wasn't on this character, so I have no idea.

The entryway looks like a church.
Location: Thundermar, Twilight Highlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 49.44.30.08
Capacity: 6. All of the chairs are in the entryway.
Rooms: No actual rooms, but there are two available beds downstairs; three, if you don't mind a Dwarf sitting at the end of one of them.
Architectural Style: Dwarf, specifically Wildhammer.
Important NPCs: Naveen Tendernose (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: Cute and quaint. A pretty entryway with a neat ramp leading downstairs into the sleeping quarters. All situated in a perfectly adorable little town.
Amenities: Great roleplaying amenities. Situated in town you'll find a little restaurant, brewery, forge, shop (empty shop, I might add), and gryphon hatchery. Very cute.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 4/5
This score is based purely on its RP potential, at least in my eyes, due to the town (which, by the way, I'm about to write a Neat Spot post on because I love it so much).



No menu for this inn because there are no vendors within the inn (aside from a reagents vendor, but he doesn't sell food). Check the restaurant for that!

Firebeard's Patrol Inn

Here we have the lovely, scenic Firebeard's Patrol Inn!

 
It's nice on the inside, so let's just ignore the fact that the rest of the town is on fire.
Location: Firebeard's Patrol, Twilight Highlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 60.32.58.06

Capacity: 5. On the main floor is one chair by the door. Downstairs you'll find four available chairs, and one sit-table stool. One chair by a cozy fire, three chairs at a table, and the stool by a small table in the corner. There is also plenty of floor space downstairs.
Rooms: 1. It's very tiny and really only the right size for a Gnome though. It's on the main floor.
Architectural Style: Dwarven, specifically Wildhammer (that's right, right?)
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Corlin, Hurley Hoppleham (Food & Drink)
Atmosphere: This is a really nice inn, but it's ruined by the fires outside, enemies on the doorstep, and constant annoying noise that happens every few seconds.
Amenities: Not really much out here, honestly. There's a neat little forge area though.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
If there wasn't fire, enemies, and annoying noises then this would be one of my favorite inns, to be honest. I really like it.

If I didn't know any better I'd think she started it.

Thunderbrew Distillery

Here is Thunderbrew Distillery!


Location: Kharanos, Dun Morogh, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 54.06.50.82
Capacity: 17, only 9 of which are interactable. On the main floor is two small tables with two seats each (only one table has interactable seats), one large table with four non-interactable seats, and one large table with three non-interactable seats. Upstairs is a small table with two seats and six seats arranged in a good meeting circle. All of the upstairs seats are interactable. Even the downstairs non-interactable seats are theoretically sit-able. That was long, sorry.
Rooms: 3. All rooms are accessible by going down the steps located in the kitchen. Two rooms have two beds each, and the largest room has only one bed. All rooms come with private fireplaces, tables, and shelves.
Architectural Style: Dwarf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Belm, Kreg Bilmn (General Supplies)
Atmosphere: It seems like a lively sort of place. Kind of dark, but one is to assume that it would be a very warm place after the snowy atmosphere of Dun Morogh. It can be rather crowded with low leveled players depending on the time of day, although not as much as some other early-level inns.
Amenities: For roleplay purposes, there is a forge right across the path outside. Steelgrill's Depot is a very short walk away. There is also a Flight Master right nearby and Ironforge itself isn't a bad walk away.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
Despite how crowded this inn can be, I really like this one. I may be biased though. The upstairs seating area is a big plus, despite the lackluster main room. It just feels like a lively, yet homey, place.

See? It's a nice seating area!

Stonefire Tavern

Okay, so first of all, the picture I'm about to post has so many things wrong with it, but I'm using it anything because it's also great.

1) This isn't even a picture of the inn. I missed. The inn is that half a doorway on the far right of the picture. 2) There's a guy running his mount into a wall. 3) What is that face?
Location: Ironforge Commons, Dun Morogh, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 21.15.53.04

Capacity: 11. Two tables with four seats each downstairs, one table with three seats upstairs. Some standing room at the bar.
Rooms: None.
Architectural Style: Dwarf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Firebrew, Gwenna Firebrew (Barmaid)
Atmosphere: Very small and cramped, but homey at the same time. More of a bar than an inn. Very dark, as is typical in Ironforge.
Amenities: All the important amenities in Ironforge are very easily accessible.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
A decent bar, although not really an inn, and it's really quite cramped. But it seems comfortable, so it gets an extra point.

There's also a balcony! And my character is just making great faces tonight.

Stoutlager Inn

Here we have Stoutlager Inn.

Location: Thelsamar, Loch Modan, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 34.74.47.93. The location is where my little arrow is, not where my quest marker is.
Capacity: 13. Downstairs there are two small tables with two seats each, and one large table with four seats (only two are interactable). Upstairs is another small table with two seats and a larger table with three seats (although only two are actually interactable).
Rooms: 3. All rooms have to be accessed by going down the stairs in the kitchen. All of the rooms are very nice, with single beds. Two of the rooms have two beds. All rooms have a personal fireplace, shelves, and tables.
Architectural Style: Dwarven
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Hearthstove, Yanni Stoutheart (General Goods), Drac Roughcut (Tradesman), Honni Goldenoat (Baker)
Atmosphere: Very crowded at certain hours, as many young adventurers pass through here. Decent atmosphere inside, although typical of Dwarven inns.
Amenities: Not much, although the area itself is very pretty.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5.
A pretty inn, but it doesn't have much else going for it.

Here's the main room, and you can see how crowded it can be.

The Golden Keg

Here, we have The Golden Keg.
Location: Stormwind Dwarven District, Elwynn Forest, Eastern Kingdoms
Coordinates: 64.13.32.70
Capacity: 15. Two large tables with six chairs each, and one small table with three chairs. w
Rooms: None.
Architectural Style: Dwarven
Important NPCs: Thaegra Tillstone (Innkeeper), Myrla Stoneround (Barmaid), Colin Field (Tavernkeeper)
Atmosphere: Fairly crowded on occasion, although much less than The Gilded Rose. Very spacious with large tables. A large, open upstairs area. One small table in the back of the inn is very private.
Amenities: Very close to the Dwarven District's Auction House and Bank. A short walk to a scenic lake and portal access to Cataclysm zones and to Pandaria. Convenient access to the tram that goes between Stormwind and Ironforge.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
The lack of inn rooms is made up for by a high capacity and easy access to amenities. Also, inside just looks nice.

The spacious dining area of the inn.
