New Town One of the newer buildings in town, and certainly the newest inn, the Red Aurochs maintains an air of rural elegance. Run by a merchant from the Westerlands and his wife who was once a lady-in-waiting to a minor noble's wife, the inn attracts the vast majority of the merchants and travelers with coin who come through Wisenwood, and those locals who have taken to the air of sophistication in the place. Many of the other locals claim it is simply pretentious and avoid it.
The inn is one of the few buildings in operation in the New Market area. Baris uses his friendship with Lord Wisent to occasionally lobby to have the New Market finished, including offering to help finance it in return for a portion of the Lord's take. Norbert tends to the bar, pouring drinks and managing the girls as needful. He also keeps a thick elm cudgel behind the bar should it become needful, but the Red Aurochs isn't exactly the sort of place that sees bar fights.

First Floor
- Tap Room: The tap room has five finely crafted round oak tables, all clustered around the fireplace, and a pair of long trestle tables. By unofficial tradition, the finer tables are reserved for the better-dressed customers who spend more coin, such as traveling merchants; most of the locals tend to congregate at the trestle tables. During the days, either Janyce or Sarella works the taproom; at night, the other works, with Karya pitching in when it seems needful. Norbert tends to the bar, overseeing the girls and pouring drinks; he maintains an elm cudgel behind the bar, in case of rowdies, but the Red Aurochs rarely sees such. Just in case, on nights where there are lots of guests getting drunk, however, one of the yard guards is sent inside to watch every half hour or so.
- Kitchens: Una is the unquestioned queen of the kitchens, with the young man Jaemis on hand to lend her help with lifting, fetching and chopping when necessary. The kitchen is sparse, with a table, a set of alcohol barrels and a large stone-floored hearth where most of the cooking happens. There is also a set of stairs down into the cellars.
- Stables: Feltyn sees to the care of the guest horses. The stables have space for five horses, though there is also room for others to be tied up outside in the yard as well. Feltyn's own sleeping space is in the hay loft.
- Yard: The Red Aurochs' main draw to merchants is the fact that they have space for multiple merchant wagons, and guards to watch them in the evenings. They also do not charge anything to allow the guards and workers with the merchants to camp out in the yard, either.
