“In days when far greater perils than crime and poverty beset our cities, acts of heroism in the name of the common and just deserve all the greater celebration. Any might train to slaughter man or beast, but there are some conditions for which there can be no preparation. When chaos erupts, the lives of the innocent and the guilty are equally imperiled, and the choice of preserving life too often stands timid in the face of fear. Our sons and neighbors who would run back into a burning building to save a child, or pull forth their fellow man from beneath the raging floodwaters— those are the true heroes." — Alander Wolfstongue, Former Senior Prelate of Kintargo

Now, 2 decades since, the adoptive parents have passed away, and the brothers work together to keep the inn running; Thorn, as the barkeep and face of the "Elder Mare" and Kroeger as the silent security and the hunter/trapper keeping the venison stew pot full and furs on the beds.
