The Exodar Inn

Here's the Exodar Inn.


Location: The Exodar, Azuremyst Isle, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 59.68.26.31
Capacity: 6 sit-able seats. Maybe. They might be beds. I'm not sure. Draenei are weird.
Room: None. There are chair-beds though. Six of them.
Architectural Style: Draenei
Important NPCs: Caregiver Breel (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: Very, very quiet because no one visits the Exodar. It's pretty neat inside though, especially with the stasis pods in the back, and the view outside the inn is beautiful.
Amenities: Fairly easy access to everything in the Exodar, including profession trainers, the bank, the auction house, and lots of shops. Not very easy access to the rest of the world though, which is a big drawback.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
The Exodar as a whole isn't that great of a capital, but it's also my favorite capital at the same time, because I think it's beautiful. The inn is a neat and you really don't see many Draenei-themed inns, which gives this inn a plus. Finally, it's just so quiet and nice, even with a lack of in-inn amenities like chairs.

I think the glowy pink things in the back are stasis pods.

Whisperwind Grove Inn

Here's the Whisperwind Grove Inn.



Location: Whisperwind Grove, Felwood, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 44.33.28.56
Capacity: No seating, as is typical for Night Elven inns. There is, as usual, a few sit-able benches and plenty of floor space.
Rooms: 1. It is at the very top of the building, up a spiral ramp. It has one bed.
Architectural Style: Night Elf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Wylaria
Atmosphere: This is a very pretty inn, in the style of a Night Elven temple. Felwood as a whole is not generally very crowded with people, and the town itself has a pretty moonwell right in the center.
Amenities: There isn't too much out here aside from a Flight Master.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
It's a very pretty inn, and it isn't often that an inn is in the style of a Night Elven temple, so I think it deserves the extra point. Also, I'm realizing that I'm being too stingy about the lack of amenities thing, considering that we're really looking at roleplay value here on this blog.


The Howling Oak

Here's the Howling Oak.


Location: Darnassus, Teldrassil, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 49.45.20.09
Capacity: No seating. Although there is plenty of room on the ground for most purposes. There's also a few sit-able benches with tables towards the back.
Rooms: None. It's not really an inn so much as a place.
Architectural Style: Night Elf
Important NPCs: Gwen Armstead (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: This place is pretty. The water is glowy, and it's just a genuinely pretty place.
Amenities: It's a bit of a walk to the Craftsmen's Terrace, so not too much.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
This place is gorgeous, but the lack of amenities in the immediate area isn't so great. It looks like a great place to hold events though.


Dolanaar Inn

Here's the Dolanaar Inn.


Location: Dolanaar, Teldrassil, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 55.72.51.07
Capacity: No seating, although there are a few sit-able benches and plenty of floor space.
Rooms: 1 enclosed room. Five beds total. Three are in the top floor enclosed room, and two are on the center floor open-air room.
Architectural Style: Night Elf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Keldamyr
Atmosphere: Very, very crowded with new Night Elf players.
Amenities: Not all that much aside from a Flight Master and a short flight to Darnassus.
Inns of Quality Rating: 1/5
Extremely crowded and not really much special about it.


Craftsmen's Terrace Inn

Here's the Craftsmen's Terrace inn.


Location: Darnassus Craftsmen's Terrace, Teldrassil, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 40.32.10.89
Capacity: No seating, although there are two sit-able benches and plenty of floor space.
Rooms: None. There is one bed in the building though.
Architectural Style: Night Elf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Saelienne
Atmosphere: It's definitely a pretty inn, and unique compared to typical Night Elven inns. I can forgive its lack of seating and rooms because I always picture the Night Elves not really caring if there's a physical roof over their heads on a nice day or night.
Amenities: The entire Craftsmen's Terrace is a short walk away. Given how sprawling Darnassus can be though, that's about all it's near The bank is a longer walk, although still not too bad. Tradesman's Terrace is also a walk.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
It's a neat little inn with some nearby amenities, but not enough to push it up to a higher score.

Azure Watch Inn

Here is the Azure Watch Inn.
It's more like a temporary camp, but you get the idea.
Location: Azure Watch, Azuremyst Isle, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 48.83.50.06. Ignore the quest markers, this character is only level 7.
Capacity: No seating. There is plenty of room on the floor for about ten people.
Rooms: No rooms. Again, there is room on the floor for about ten people.
Architectural Style: Draenei
Important NPCs: Caregiver Chellan (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: Run-down (it is wreckage, after all), although it still has that Draenei glowy-shiny feel to it. Outside looks very much like a camp made of wreckage. Because it is. Can be very crowded with new players.
Amenities: There is an established path out of the camp that leads to the Exodar, and there is a Flight Master right next to the inn itself.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 1/5
There's a hole in the roof!

That's a big window. Also, my character looks scary. Sorry for the nightmares, everyone.

Lor'Danel Inn

Here is the Lor'Danel Inn (I don't think it has a real name).


Location: Lor'Danel, Darkshore, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 51.40.18.65
 Capacity: No real seating, but there is plenty of room on the spacious floor to sit. Which I think is how the Night Elves probably prefer anyway.
Rooms: No real rooms because Night Elven inns are open air. There are, however, five single beds on the upper floors, three of which could actually be considered "indoors."
Architectural Style: Night Elven
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Kyteran, Ayriala (General Goods)
Atmosphere: Pretty, natural, and open-air. Relatively crowded outside, although less so inside the inn itself.
Amenities: A very short walk away from the Flight Master, which is, in turn, a very short flight to Rut'Theran Village / Darnassus.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
Pretty and in a convenient location, but the crowded area is not desirable.

Here is the second floor. Visible is the ramp leading up to the enclosed sleeping area, and the ramp down into the main room.

Dreamer's Rest Inn

Here we have the Dreamer's Rest Inn.
Okay, I don't really consider this an inn, but it has an innkeeper, so I guess it is!


Location: Dreamer's Rest, Feralas, Kalimdor

Coordinates: 51.00.17.80
Capacity: None. Okay, you could maybe fit four people in that tent, max, but it would be crowded. Plus as many people as you can fit around the fire.
Rooms: None. Just a tent.
Architectural Style: The tent is Night Elven in style.
Important NPCs: Andoril (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: Natural. As in, it's in nature. A couple steps away is a nice little Night Elven temple-y thing. And a lot of trees. Not very crowded though!
Amenities: Just a couple steps away from everything in Dreamer's Rest! Which is to say, nothing.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 1/5
There isn't even a dry place to rest your head, and the atmosphere does not make up for that fact.


"Nice little Night Elven temple-y thing."
