The Home & Hearth
The people here know each other, so strangers are always spotted, but they are greeted and treated in a very friendly manner. Whenever someone new to Gunvorton comes in to the Home and Hearth, though, Shania will not be far behind. Often, there'll be bards playing and if you're really lucky, then Shania will be singing. She has an amazing voice, something other worldly about it.
So the rumour goes, Shania opened the Home & Hearth after the death of her husband - he had always wanted to run an Inn where the patrons always left a little bit happier than when they arrived. She works tirelessly and is adored by the people of Gunvorton and, so they say, that's why.
Currently, Shania is the Accountant of the Scalvoris Council a role she was given in Arc 720 ~ and that means that she travels between Scalvoris Town and Gunvorton itself. But that is not maintainable - her Inn is up for sale and her role in Gunvorton is in desperate need of someone to fill it. But it can't be just anyone.

Other Information: If there is one thing which everyone agrees on, it is that Shania is a nice lady. Friendly, helpful and always willing to help out, she is the backbone of the growing region on Gunvorton. She knows everyone, it seems, and she's always there should anyone need a little bit of information. She runs the local inn and it is her job, as she tells everyone, to make sure that all who come to her establishment leave just a little bit happier.
