Game and Story Use

• An ostler is a good minor NPC to greet adventurers and offer information about an inn before entering it. It's also a good opportunity to add some variety as young men probably held this position regularly.
• Have a thief pose as an ostler, after ostlers have become a standard part of the campaign setting, and then have their horses stolen.
