Benrime Salmin

Benrime Salmin is the owner and proprietor of "The Journeyman Inn", an inn located in the Arcadian city of Marcuria. She made her first appearance in The Longest Journey, where she became a friend and confidante to April Ryan. In Dreamfall, she often aids April and the resistance movement against the Azadi occupying force.

She is the first Arcadian who Zoe meets, and recognises by the latter's confusion that she is a denizen of Stark. Her familiarity with Shifters is an obvious reference to April's similar Shift in TLJ, although she had never discovered April's origins in that game. It must have occurred some time in the intervening decade. She suggests that she visit Minstrum Magda, no doubt because the Sentinel are still in contact with Magicals, although she does not want to discuss such matters out aloud: fearing the wrath of the Azadi. She suggests that Blind Bob might know where Magda is, and when Bob demands Mulled Wine made from Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices as "tit-for-tat" to divulge the whereabouts of the Minstrum, comments that "for a beggar,  Blind Bob is quite particular". She is out of spices, so Zoe must find some elsewhere, but she boils the wine and provides a bottle for when she has.

When the Azadi raid the Journeyman in their search for the Scorpion, Benrime is cold and unhelpful to them: loyal to the Rebels to the last. When Kian asks her if she has anything further to say, she says coolly "You're trespassing." When he corners Na'ane he convinces her to lead him to the Scorpion by threatening to try Benrime in Sadir as a traitor, and execute Brynn and Chawan as smugglers. She acquiesces, and when Commander Vamon arrests Kian one of the crimes he accuses him of releasing Benrime and the others. We can only assume she has gone into hiding somewhere, although the Swamp City is no longer a safe haven.
