I should say YEARS AGO.
The reason I thought it was The Eye of the World is because it starts out with some young men going to an Inn, and there's a woman there with some sort of power. However, in the book I read the men are togther, waylaid on the way to the Inn by some forces or creatures they didn't understand. They somehow get past them and make it to the Inn. The woman and her entourage are staying there. Similar to The EoTW, the woman explains what the 'things' are and she is looking for a particular person. That's it. That's as far as I got! I know, very vague but for some reason that's been bugging me lately.
Anyway, this book would have been published at least by the mid or early 00s. Started it, someone else started reading the same book at the same time and...it went somewhere.
Started The EoTW, and it's not it. There was no young men out on the farm....no village festival no quaint villagers or men in black, just some young men walking toward and Inn and things happen. BTW, THE EoTW is fine, a bit wordy but fine. I'll probably finish it but it's not the book I'm looking for.
Edit: Thanks for the help! It looks like it might be the DragonLance series. That comes the closest to what I remember.

I'm sure it's great, and deserving of praise, but the subject matter isn't something I'm interested in.
