Location
The Old Inn is located at the middle of the distance between Torch City and its neighbour town. Since the two are so far apart, travelers usually spend the night at the Old Inn to rest before going the other half of the way. It is relatively close to The Farms from where they get all their food. It is by far the most popular inn on the World.

History
Two hundred years before the Blackout, a man by the name of Athanas took note of the fact that the distance between Torch City and the next town was too great to be traveled in one day, so he decided to build a small inn at the middle of the road. The inn's name was decided to be The Old Inn even though it is the last inn to ever be built on the World. It quickly gained popularity thanks to its welcoming atmosphere, for the most part.

The basic concept behind The Old Inn was travelers coming in, having a drink, telling a story and then going to bed all for quite a small price -- smaller in comparison to the other inns. You can often hear laughter coming from inside the bar of the inn and Arthanas takes pride in the book of tales he writes every time a new client comes in. The book consists of the stories people who came told him, which he then carefully wrote down in a blank notebook and read them to new people that would come at the Inn.

The Old Inn has become so popular, in fact, that the other inn keepers have grown quite jealous of Athanas and his life was often threatened, however everyone was always quick to come and help him when the need arose and clients rarely stood by and watched when someone would have a fight at the bar. The Inn was passed down to Athanas' children when he passed away, and then to their children and so on.

When The Blackout came, the inn keepers at that time fled the inn to Torch City and was later destroyed by goblins, leaving The Inn in ruins. The pages from Athanas' notebook can be found scattered about throughout the Inn ruins.
