The Crossroads Inn is a tavern in Vale Sangora — a small location with an outsized story role.
Why it matters
The inn is the trigger point for the A Bulwark Against Darkness chain: look for Anca here at Infamy Level 4. That makes the inn a checkpoint you will naturally revisit as your Infamy climbs — the chain is part of the Arbiter Armor path, so it matters for gear as much as for story.
Because the trigger is tied to Infamy Level 4 rather than a quest marker, it is easy to walk past before it becomes relevant; if you are tracking the Arbiter Armor, note the infamy gate and keep a slot open in the 30-day timer for the chain once it unlocks. The first-act walkthrough covers the early-game context.
