The Silvergate Inn is predicated on the thought that Elanthia's citizens should have a place where they are able to enjoy themselves in comfort and style. The age, profession, religious leanings or social status of an adventurer is of no concern at House Silvergate.

The Inn is unusual amongst Elanthian Houses in that it is a House that requires membership, yet more than half of the Inn is open to the public at large. Private rooms are available to all. The interior decoration in some of these rental rooms are quite special; a must-see for visitors. Also, the ballroom can be rented for parties and receptions.

Silvergate Inn is located in Wehnimer's Landing, but has annexes available to its members in all the known towns and cities. It is a member of the Co-operative Houses of Elanthia. Lord of Manor Enegue has been running the Silvergate Inn since its inception.
