In The Dark Of Night 21
"Tonight, you go to the taverns, to do your trade." This was not a question, though Giselle thought it should be.
"Yes."
"You will bring back our food, then go to the tavern. Do not eat with the dwarf, as you will eat while out tonight."
"Yes, okay. Why are you instructing me like I'm an idiot?"
"You're a human." Giselle mustered a glare at him. All this time, and when she could be walking out on any night, disappearing from his group. She could have a life here, she could fit in. He and his elite would starve without her.
Giselle left with that thought in mind, Raevid doing nothing in response to the glare. Her steps carried her

The Legends of Lore: Ch 2: The Water Trough Tavern
The Water Trough tavern lay in the shadows of a large yew tree growing on the edge of town. The tree's spreading branches cloaked it in perpetual shade even on the brightest days, which was perfectly fine with the usual patrons, who didn't think much of walking in the light anyway. The tavern had always been a rather rough place, but over the last few years it had become infamous as a den of crooks, thugs, and generally every other sort of unsavory character you might wish to never meet. This, of course, made it their favorite place to gather and drink the night away.
It was almost midnight, and most of the street lamps had already been put
You trudge through the gritty streets of a trade city and, straying unwittingly off your path, venture into a shady, uncharted part of town. The street lamps gradually flicker and fade until you are left to guide yourself by moonlight alone. In the distance you see warm saffron light pouring through the windows of a small, cedar paneled building; two stories high and pulsating with nightlife. Gilt crested banners wave proudly at either side of the establishment's hanging sign, much too shaded to be legible. Several score paces later you arrive before the worn, unlocked double doors. Tentatively, you place a hand

The Tavern in the North
The night was fast approaching as I bent my shoulders into the cold wind. The village was somewhere nearby, and the cold was sinking its teeth in rather quickly. Snow swirled around my feet, sticking in the furs I used to keep myself warm. I looked up into the dusky sky and spotted a trail of smoke not too far off above the trees. It must be the village. I pressed on into the cold, feeling a small shiver creep through me. My breath puffed out in front of me and away into the wind. The path began to clear out, the trees becoming sparser, and a faint, golden light glowed in the distance. I could see a cluster of stone and wood build
In a tavern at the Lower Tier of Negav, the mood this very night was unusually good, with various characters filling the antique-looking tables and chairs crammed in the not so spacious room. The atmosphere was noisy but welcoming, with the yellowish orange light doing the most part for the cosiness of the place.
At a table near the entrance, two rowdy men, whose beards you'd think they belong to some Dwarf or maybe a Viking from the old fantastic stories, were exchanging taunts in a very harpyish manner, only to laugh and then clink their giant-sized beer jars. In another table near the centre, a small man wearing a cloak was bellowing jape
When he saw her again, it was in the middle of the village square; she sat on the edge of the fountain while she read a book in the sunlight – and Avery knew that he was hopelessly in love.
He pushed his way around carts, and slipped through the crowds – earning a dirty look or two in the process – and made his way over to her.
The girl glanced up when his shadow spilled across her pages and she smiled faintly up at him. She slipped a white feather between the pages – marking her place for later – and then she held the book securely on her lap.
“My lord.” Demetria bowed her head.
“My lady.

Section 1: Real Life Influences
Before we delve into creating an imaginary world, we must understand the importance of using real life influences as a base. No one can imagine anything not based on real life.
The best way to start creating or to fine-tune an imaginary world is to find influences from our world to be inspired from.
If a fantastical world has cargo full of imaginary species and magic or alternate laws of physics, the reader needs something, at least a few principles, that are the same as Earths so that they have grounding in your story. Theres a fine balance, as many wise writer types will
