The '''Tavern of the Rising Sun''' was the only inn and tavern in [[Tristram]], 20 years ago, before the [[demon]]ic invasion of the [[Tristram Cathedral]].
==Background==
The inn in [[Tristram]] had been there for decades when the town was overrun by [[demon]]s, and it was burned to the ground.
[[Ogden]] had owned and been running the Rising Sun Inn and Tavern for almost four years before the [[hero]] who later destroyed [[Diablo]] arrived. He purchased it just a few short months before everything started to go sour in [[Tristram]].
He and his wife [[Garda]] did not have the money to leave as they invested all they had in making a life for themselves in [[Khanduras]]. He was considered a good man with a deep sense of responsibility by [[Deckard Cain]] who lived there at the time.
Ogden is presumed dead after the [[demon]]ic attack on Tristram where only Cain is known to have survived.
One of the owners before Ogden was [[Baerna]], who Deckard Cain said "was a cruel inkeep but a fine cook. Not a soul in [[Westmarch]] would disagree." He had been in possession of the inn at least some 20 years prior to the attacks on Tristram, since "Ogden had a rule about minstrels that went back 20 years to when Baerna ran the inn."
This itself relates to that a bard named [[Hays]] used to trouble Ogden for soup and boarding in the summer months.
==Canonity==
The story about [[Hays]] and [[Baerna]] might not be [[canon]]ical, since it was taken from the [[Deckard Cain GPS Voice Pack]]. The actual in-world references seem pretty solid though, so we're going to run with it unless proof of the opposite arise.
Also, considering that the time scale of the [[Tristram]] events were majorly [[retcon]]ned, we don't know if [[Ogden]] indeed had stayed 4 years, or if it was less. The principle is the same, however, he recently bought it, and then the trouble started.
