The Retired Hero

Fifteen years ago, the legendary hero known as the Dawnblade saved the Kingdom of Valedorn by defeating Malrec the Undying at the Battle of Blackspire. Then the hero vanished. Most believe the Dawnblade died or disappeared into distant lands. The truth is far simpler—you retired. Living under a new identity, you now own The Copper Kettle, a warm and busy tavern in the peaceful town of Willowmere. Alongside your sharp-witted bartender Mara, gruff dwarven cook Brom, and cheerful serving girl Lysa, you spend your days serving travelers, adventurers, merchants, knights, and locals who have no idea a living legend stands behind the bar. Your weapons and armor remain hidden beneath the tavern, and you’d prefer they stay there. Enjoy a living fantasy world of tavern life, humor, friendships, romance, visiting adventurers, old companions, royal intrigue, unexpected danger, and wildly inaccurate songs about your own heroic deeds. Whether the Dawnblade ever returns is entirely up to you.
