You find yourself on the path of the Way of the Lion, trudging through fickle weathers to and from. One minute it overflowed with generous sunshine and warmth, all sweetness and brilliant unfettered golden rays. The next it is dark, brooding, resisting the sun, threatening to bring down a storm with every ounce of power at its disposal. On top of that, pests and dangers loom on the road, only waiting for you to pass by for the chance to pounce you. You might find yourself tired and winded, soaked through and muddied, and in a sour mood at that. Not far off there is a fortress of sorts. Some light emanates from it and you feel drawn to move toward it for some shelter...
The door to the tavern swings open as you enter the building through the hardwooden door and a bell rings. A gruff voice shouts "Good morning.". It came from that tall half orc by the bar, as though wanting to alert you to his presence there. He appears to be a doorman or a guard of sorts. As you proceed in you are welcomed by a pleasant atmosphere and laughing voices. The bartender is handling some customers, but still manages to welcome you with a smile. On the daily Warriors Rest isn't particularly packed, as one might expect considering the dangers on the road leading toward it. Warriors and bypassing adventurers seem to be the primary clientele here, but the door is open to all. Many across the room are clad in fully armored gear. You soon learn what this establishment is about, as a waitress finds her way to your table to serve you...
Warriors Rest is an inn connected to The Bladestone Foundation, a school of martial arts. A place for students to kick their feet up after strenuous training, or for fellow warriors or adventurers to wind down over a good hearty meal or a drink. It also boasts to have three comfortable rooms for renting, should you want to turn in for the night. The inn is full of many of life's comforts and is in no way squalid, however one couldn't call the place particularly wealthy or aristocratic. The menu reflects in some ways its desire to be self sufficient...

On the day of Mirthul the 6th two small ladies enter Warriors rest. One a bearded dwarven lady, the other a halfling. They both talk to the innkeeper and a female behind the counter for a while, the dwarven female having been seen burping a pink blaze of fire over the bar. The halfling lady was offered pen and quill to jot something down, which was handed back over the bar when she was finished with it. The piece of paper could be seen tacked up next to painting to the right of the entrance.

Posted clearly on the walls of both the Arena and the Inn entitled "Bylaws of the Bladestone Foundation"
1) While the Bladestone Foundation itself does not adhere to any specific political allegiance, the Foundation's facility itself is within the environs of Baldur's Gate. To that end, the Foundation will adhere to the Ducal laws that are enacted to ban the practice of necromancy, blood magic, and eldrich magics as well as the banished races from Ducal lands. This is not a statement of the belief of the staff and Foundation in general, however it is to supply provision to keep those who practice and train at the Bladestone from becoming compromised within their home lands.
2) While the Bladestone Foundation is neutral in its political alignments as is possible, the Foundation itself is not a haven for criminals and the like. To that end, if someone within the Foundation's walls is legitimately wanted and an authorized and deputized member of the legal authoritative forces such as the Flaming Fist, or the Watch, of nearby townships and political entities, the Bladestone cannot stand in the way of the arrest. The Arresting Parties must provide a writ of authorization to take the individual or individuals in to custody. However, if it is merely vigilantes or other individuals who do not have the legal authority to make arrests within the Baldur's Gate environs, then the individual or individuals will not be required to go with the seeking party. If at any point it is found that an individual or individuals are using the Bladestone and its staff as sanctuary for hiding due to breaking the law, the Council may decide to temporarily or permanently remove the offending party's access to the Foundation.
3) The Foundation is neutral ground. Political rivalries are not welcome within the Foundation between staff, members, students, and guests. Keep it outside. If one group or person is harassed by another because of political differences, the offending party or parties will be given one warning. If it continues the staff may issue further warnings as appropriate or have the offending party removed from the premises
4) Personal disagreements are allowed to be resolved in-facility if both parties are agreeable. This will mostly likely take the form of spars or duels. For this to take place, certain guidelines must be adhered to:
A) No fights to the death. We are not here so you can kill your personal enemy.
B) A fistfight may take place in the Inn if both parties agree, anything with weapons must take place in the arena or outside.
C) Levels of warding and use of stealth must be agreed upon by both parties.
D) The involved parties may request a staff member, usually an instructor or council member, to officiate.
Bylaws are subject to update and change by the Council as needed.

It is with great pride that the Council of the Bladestone Foundation announces that the facilities of Foundation are fully open to the public.
This includes a fully functional tavern, inn, arena, private sparring areas, classroom, and more.
All are welcome to come and enjoy the establishment. Please abide by the posted rules and bylaws. Please also note that the storage and healing capabilities of the Foundation are still currently limited due to various supply or space limitations.

Complaint could be heard by those that frequent Warriors Rest by either the chef there or the barkeep Reinhard, that someone was pilfering baked goods earlier. Some biscuits and a Garlic Parmesan Pretzel in fact. The culprit is yet unknown.

An adventuring warband of Northerners arrived at Warrior's Rest this day in the company of Amos Thistle, Knight Regent of the Blackrose. They quickly made themselves at home in the arena with a keg from the bar and many brawls.
A final duel between Mjoll and Grimhildr result in a head wound, when the latter cracked her skull falling on the hard floor.
Wulrik Icewalker, 'First Axe', remains behind at Warrior's Rest with his companion overseeing her treatment at the hands of the healers of the Hall.

At the Night of Starfall, many travelers found their way to Warriors Rest, staying after or even just coming in belated after the open stage had already ended. Among two of them, a bet was made, based on a brawl.
All too soon, they also found the aid of a bored Wizard, to settle that bet in a grappling match in a greased ring with quite a number of spectators. The fight was long, and painful to both sides, involving biting, broken bones and one mans bells being rung in the less cheerful sense. However, in the end, no victor emerged as one fighter saw fit to throw his greasy, oiled-up competition into a Brazier, setting fire to both and grievously injuring them.
A frenzied search for a healer began, and hasty first-aid were delivered, together with some more drastic measures being set up.
But thankfully, in the end, One of those called in managed to magically soothe the damage done, and both participants and the staff of the infirmary were left with a harrowing experience, a hefty bout of exhaustion and perhaps a lesson learnt about fire safety.. And a creative way of solving the priorly made bet.

*Derik looks over the not left at the Rest with a smirk* Heh, that's great, Red... *he says to the air*
*As he heads to the bar to get a drink and look through a few other missives he stops, scowls a bit, and looks around at some of the patrons that all seem to be wearing similar livery. He gets his drink and heads up to the offices to do some paperwork and communications.*
