The Twisted Axle

Settlement: Aureltaran (about 1 day west) Proprietor: Alessio Salvatore

The Twisted Axle sits a day’s easy ride west from Aureltaran, along the trade road that follows the River Esmel. If the tales are to be believed it was founded when old man Salvatore’s wagon broke down from, you guessed it, a twisted axel. Without the tools to repair it he began to sell his wares to other travelers on the road and eventually decided he’d be better off catering to the merchants than being one. Three generations later, under the management of his grandson Alessio Salvatore, it’s a popular last-stop before reaching the capital and a superstitious reminder among merchants and travelers to favor opportunity over plans.
