The Waystone Inn

The quiet inn where Kvothe tells his story.

The Waystone Inn stands in the rural town of Newarre and is the setting of the frame story of The Kingkiller Chronicle. It is run by the innkeeper Kote, who is Kvothe in hiding, with his assistant Bast.

Lore & Background

Kvothe recounts his life to Chronicler at the inn over three days. On the first day a mercenary possessed by a supposed skin dancer attacks the patrons there and kills one, until the blacksmith's apprentice Aaron strikes him with an iron rod. In The Wise Man's Fear two soldiers rob the inn after Bast prompts them.
