The Clockwork Café sits at the base of Wyrdlan’s old clocktower, a half-timbered structure that seems to lean just a little more each year. Whitewashed plaster panels are framed by dark wooden beams, while the great clock face gleams faintly high above. At the ground floor, a smaller clock-face sign swings above the arched door, always ticking just out of rhythm with the tower’s bell.
Inside, the Clockwork Café is snug and bustling, with mismatched wooden tables pressed against the tower’s curved walls. A polished brass-and-wood counter stands at the far wall, always crowded with cups and plates that vanish the moment the great clock chimes. Behind the counter, the tower’s central mechanism churns ceaselessly, a spectacle of enchanted gears and chains.
The menu changes every hour on the hour. If you haven't finished your drink before the clock chimes, bad luck for you, as all drinks and treats from the previous menu will vanish in a puff of smoke. Villagers boast of clever tricks to outwit the bell, but they're never true. The clock always wins.
