“[[The Nine Rings]]” was the name of one of my favorite adventure stories growing up, and I had hoped the inside might be kitschy. The innkeeper, [[Maglin Madwen| Mistress Madwen]], was very intent on making sure I was well-taken care of and had all my needs met, though it did feel as though she thought I was up to no good. Her establishment looked well-cared for, though small. The size is most likely a reflection on [[Tremonsien]] being a stopover to [[Cairhien (City)| Cairhien)]], rather than the final destination.

 

The room was small yet functional, but what I really wanted was a taste of the food. The smells had wafted out to the street and my mouth was watering. My plate was full of pork and veggies, all wrapped in a thick sauce. The spices and flavors—tender, sweet, and sharp! It filled the belly of this hungry traveler. A young man with some burns on his hand played the flute while I ate, and was still playing when I left.

 

All in all, The Nine Rings was a pleasant experience. Aside from the food and the music, the place was nothing special.
