=====THE WELCOME INN=====

Locate on George Street, just inside the south gate of [[jorvikburg|Jorvikburg]], the Welcome Inn is the premier lodging for out-of-town visitors coming north from [[kingston|The City of Kingston]].  It is well-kept, clean and provides good food and drink.

It owner is Sir Wilhelm of Holland, a knight resident of the city who has a posh townhouse nearby.   Day-to-day operations are handled by Ormond, Wilhelm's former groom and stable-master, who has earned his master's respect and thanks.   Ormand is fussy about keeping the rooms orderly, as befits the house of a knight, and his cook, Elma, serves dinner promptly at seven and will not serve those who are late.
