Early Bird NPC #1: Innkeeper (Patreon)

Aterria is an experienced enterpreneur who started a tavern and then inn called "Venturehome". It began as a place for adventurers to spend their well- or ill-gotten gains and often receive other gains - Aterria is an exquisite chef and welcomes all sorts. It forces her to practice her cooking skills even further, and she encourages all who venture forth from her establishment to bring back myriad ingredients, spices, meats and such; be sure to tell the tan-skin, nearly Koloss-sized lady that you love her dishes and she might whip up seconds!
