The Kettle & Crown
Bram's inn at Hollowmere, bigger inside than out, anchors his domain skills and expands to encompass the world.
Located at a dead-end crossing in Hollowmere where the old war road meets the mill stream, Bram's inn stands as a peculiar landmark that defies physical logic. Opened in the spring of Year 0, the establishment is visibly larger on the inside than its exterior suggests, a property that deepens significantly starting in Book 4. By the series finale, approximately four years after its opening, this humble tavern has evolved into something far greater.
