The Summoning Grounds has a history—long, tangled, and told too many times to trust completely.

Some of it is exaggerated, and some of it is outright lies. Some of it is true, though you’d swear it wasn’t.

What no one argues is this:

The Summoning Grounds is the finest tavern in Raventhorne, Lower Ryknût. A harbor city carved into the cliffs of Falsche Bay, Raventhorne is loud, restless, and never entirely clean of its ghosts.

Tread lightly. There are dragons here. Not always the kind with wings. You’ll meet people who carry stories, hard-won lessons, and more than a few scars. Some offer guidance. Others offer trouble dressed as wisdom.

A word of caution: if you’re taking advice from Jäckel, take it with a steady drink and a raised brow. He works here (reluctantly) and has a habit of making things worse just to see what happens. The rest of us mean well.

More than good coffee.

We occasionally feature tabletop roleplaying content, but this is not a review site, and we don’t take requests.

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you choose to buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. It doesn’t take from the creators. If anything, it helps keep the lanterns lit. Perhaps most importantly, it tells us what resonates with you, Dear Reader. We use beacons like that to keep building something worth returning to.

A better way to support us is through our tabletop roleplaying game products (mostly sold on DMs Guild and DriveThru RPG). Our products include adventures (including guidance on teaching young/new players to play D&D), adventure hooks, player options, and reference sheets.
