The Prism Hearth is the warm and welcoming heart of Glimmerbrook, its timbered walls and arched windows glowing softly with magical lanterns that shift hues throughout the evening. A large central fireplace, enchanted to flicker in mesmerizing shades of blue, violet, and emerald, casts dancing colors across the rustic wooden beams. The air is rich with the scent of hearty stews, honeyed bread, and spiced cider. Run by Merris Brightbrook, a halfling with a silver-streaked braid and an ever-present knowing smile, the tavern is a favored gathering place for villagers and travelers alike. The oak bar is lined with mismatched yet elegant glassware, each mug and goblet enchanted to resist spills. A small stage in the corner hosts traveling minstrels or local storytellers, while a cozy reading nook offers a quiet retreat. At midnight, the fireplace embers release soft, glowing motes, drifting like tiny stars until dawn.
