The Green Goddess Inn is a tavern built on the border between a human kingdom and a faerie kingdom. Its wait staff is composed of human women but its patrons are a mix of faerie races of many sizes—pixies, sprites, brownies, gnomes, leprechauns, etc. A faerie minstrel named Cully Greythorn arrives at the Green Goddess and is given a tour by a waitress named Runa. He meets the tavern regulars and learns the perils that the little people face here.
