The Clockwork Teacup
the inn where the next world steams
Warm, low light pools around mismatched tables of driftwood and mirrored brass. A small hearth burns with a cool blue flame that smells faintly of cinnamon and ozone; above it, a lattice of tiny gears turns once every few minutes and the room exhales a soft hiss as if breathing. Conversation is gentle and curious — planar cartographers compare maps over tea, refugees from a failed gate knit and trade talismans, and a musician from a vaporous plane plays a single, steady tune on a glass harmonium. Strange comforts are normal here: teacups hum when filled, a rug will rearrange itself to fit a newcomer’s shoes, and everyone leaves with the feeling they've been tucked into a safe pocket between worlds.
A battered brass teacup on a chain, tiny cogs soldered to its rim; steam engraved into the metal seems to shift when you stare. The sign is polished nightly and smells faintly of bergamot.

Pocket-Tea
4 cpA delicate blue-brew served in a thimble; drinking it comforts the mind and briefly steadies faint planar sensations — for 1 minute you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice planar seams but suffer a -1 penalty to Dexterity checks as your limbs feel weightless.

Gimble Rook · barmaid
A middle-aged gnome with ink-stained fingers who remembers every patron's favorite infusion and where they stashed their coins.
Tala Venn · cook

Hexto Mapwright
A quiet half-orc cartographer mapping transient seams; he wants someone brave enough to verify the 'Murmur Gate' marked on his charts.
Serin the Courier
A wiry kenku who once used the inn’s hidden hinge to escape a smuggling run and now worries the hinge is growing unstable and drawing attention.
Old Rheds
A retired planar lighthouse keeper (human) who spends afternoons polishing a brass lantern and muttering about a waystation called Graykip.
1
Hexto Mapwright claims a faded notch on his map points to the 'Murmur Gate' — a pocket hinge under a bakery in the Ember Quarter that sometimes whispers names.
2
Serin warns that a courier named Vallo took a brass lantern to Graykip Waystation and never returned; the lantern is said to light doors that shouldn't exist.
3
Old Rheds swears the lantern in his chestbox once flashed the sigil Marrek hums about; he believes that sigil marks a lost messenger post where messages to the wrong planes are dumped.
