Charlie's Tavern: The Hearth Between Worlds

Tucked between realms, where ley lines knot and forgotten gods linger, stands Charlie's Tavern-a place that shouldn't exist, and yet always has. Its barkeep, Corky, is more than he seems. Raised by mortals, haunted by dreams not his own, and quietly carrying the legacy of an immortal parent whose name even Olympus dares not speak, Corky is the keeper of stories, secrets, and sanctuary.

As the chaos of Rick Riordan's mythic world spills across dimensions-prophecies unraveling, monsters rising, and demigods caught in the crossfire-Charlie's Tavern becomes the last hearth. A liminal space where gods drink to forget, heroes rest to remember, and the rules of fate bend just enough to let hope breathe.

Corky doesn't wield a sword or cast spells. He pours drinks laced with memory, listens like a priest, and knows when to lock the door and when to open the back room that doesn't exist on any map. But when the divine order begins to fracture, and whispers of his true parentage stir ancient rivalries, Corky must choose: remain the quiet guardian of the hearth-or step into the myth he's tried so long to avoid.
