[hider=Minnow] Name: Minnow Dessalt Race: Night Elf Job: Owner of the local tavern: The Other Mine. It's been in Minnows family for generations and has a long history with the town and its locals.. as well as passerby! Background: Minnow inherited The Other Mine when her father finally died of old age. His death was a sorrow felt blow to the community at large and when he passed, the Dessalt family's assets were split in half, with Minnow's older sister, Herring, inheriting the Salt Mines and Company situated a ways north of the town. The Dessalt Mining company is where the family's fortune began and to be honest, what is still keeping the family in the lofts of affluence. The Other Mine, while money making in its own right, doesn't hold much of a candle to the Mining Company. This fact is partially the reason Minnow was given the tavern instead of the mining company -- she doesn't have much business sense. Minnow is a bright, happy, and social person, but is much too easy going for the mining scene, and so her father saw her best suited to taking over the tavern. For all its worth, she has kept the place warm and cozy, and her ear is bent to anyone who ever needs someone to talk to. If nothing else, her sunshine personality, along with its historical presence, keeps The Other Mine a nexus of Lorenstad society... and thank goodness for that. Being a NIGHT elf, though, her business hours are 2PM to 6AM, unless of course a room is needed! [/hider]
