The redoubtable elven settlement of Evereska maintains a cool relationship with the Halfway Inn's proprietor, Myrin Silverspear. Silverspear offers a warm welcome to all who step through the doors of his inn, in stark contrast to the proudly unapproachable Evereskans.
In spite of this difference in approach, Evereska tolerates the inn's unusual proximity to the secretive community because the people of Evereska respect Silverspear as a fair broker and because Evereska benefits from having a trading post nearby. It is rumored that Silverspear is an exiled noble of Evereska, which would explain why he is so respected and tolerated and yet still excluded.
The Moonrise cocktail, with its distinct layers, is said to evoke the view of the rising moon from the heightened vantage of Evereska through the haze of the city's own magic field. It's one of the most beautiful and cherished sights and one that Silverspear knows he will never see again.
