Location The Den

[Jaadis Sitai]

At first glance, the Den is not much. The walls are cobblestone, hewn from pebbles and rocks dredged straight from the bottom of swamps, and the paint is peeling straight off the door. It isn’t even located on Dry Island Plaza; instead, one must make their way down a meandering road that arcs off the plaza to find the Den, which is perched on the edge of the isle, only two steps away from becoming one with the river. And yet there is something intriguing in this most humble of buildings. Hints of what lies beyond come with the perfumed air that drifts out every time the door is opened, accompanied by laughter and other, more base, sounds. All of Kenash know this building for what it truly is - a pleasure house, plain and simple. Despite its pitiful state the main door is oiled well enough and opens without a sound. The long hallway that leads away from the door, which ends in a curtain of red silk, is silent as well. For some, this passage is the hardest road to walk. Without the sounds of the living around them, one is left with their own thoughts and the inklings of what lies to come. Some turn back, while others plunge on, ready. Those that pass through the silk curtain find themselves in a wholly different setting. The lobby of the Den is opulent, and luxurious, and red. Auburn benches and maroon couches are arrayed around a wooden room painted crimson, and the walls are covered in scarlet curtains and rosy artwork. Men and women flit about in naught but undergarments, conversing freely with the patrons unless otherwise occupied. The air here smells of roses and something else more exotic and arousing. At the far end lies a desk of ebony, and behind this desk, seated on a matching ebony chair, is where one can usually find Jaadis. The mistress of the Den must be consulted first before any transactions are made. Jaadis only has so many workers, and oftentimes appointments must be made before any pleasure is to be obtained. She also might change the price depending on what exactly the patron wants to do, but in most cases, once you enter the backrooms you are free to do as you wish. The scion of Sitai has a smile for any and all who enter her establishment, but any causing trouble will soon find that the woman is pretty handy with a whip. Once the deal has been made, Jaadis will acquaint the patron with their chosen boy or girl and then escort them through a hallway at the back to one of the rooms. The Den is a pleasure house in every sense of the word, and lovemaking is only one of the services they provide; the rooms closest to the lobby are baths, in which both massage beds and bathtubs can be found. These rooms are kept warm by twin fireplaces, and it is over this fire that the water for the baths are also heated. Brushes and other grooming tools are kept close to the tub, whilst the other half of the room has been given over to the massage bed, of which both are stocked with a masseuse’s kit. At the far end of the hall are the bedrooms. These rooms are cleaned in between every session and always kept in tip top shape. Cotton beds stand opposite wardrobes and dressing screens have been dragged from the bathrooms here for any patrons who are feeling a little performance anxiety. The two bedrooms have a privy all their own, which is shared between the two. A pleasure slave of the Sitai family will always assist a patron, no matter what service they choose. It is said that if Jaadis likes a patron (i.e. they pay a little extra), she will attend to their bathing and massaging needs personally, but no amount of money will get Jaadis into the bedroom. One will have to find a different way to accomplish that. No matter what one comes to the Den for, however, Jaadis always tries to insure they come away satisfied.   NPCs Name: Linn Race: Human DoB: Summer 5th, 491 A.V. PoB: Kenash Title: Pleasure slave at the Den Skills: 30 Seduction, 15 Massage, 5 Grooming Gnosis: None Additional Info: Linn and her twin brother, Nat, have never known anything except a life of slavery. Born and raised in the slave quarters of Bloodflower, the twins were among those selected to be trained in the art of love. Though Dervain initially intended to sell them at market, Jaadis intervened and was allowed to keep the pair as her personal slaves - or, as it has turned out, as her employees. Nowadays, Linn can be spotted at the Den working as a pleasure slave, or, more rarely, in the company of the mistress herself. Linn always was the more outspoken twin, which has garnered her more than her fair share of lashes. As of late Linn seems more content with her situation, or, at the very least, keeps her emotions better hidden than she did in the past. Name: Nat Race: Human DoB: Summer 5th, 491 A.V. PoB: Kenash Title: Pleasure slave at the Den Skills: 30 Seduction, 15 Grooming, 5 Massage Additional Info: Nat was born on Bloodflower to a house slave, mere seconds after his twin sister Linn. A slave from birth, he has known no other home than the Sitai Plantation. Early in life, he and his sister were trained in the art of love. It was those bed skills that insured his and his sister’s selection as personal slave to Jaadis Sitai, as she had an idea to put the pair into work in her pleasure house, the Den. Nowadays, he can either be spotted there, ‘helping’ a customer, or can be found acting assistant to Jaadis. Nat was always more level-headed then his sister, and unlike her had the sense to keep his mouth shut when the master was around. However, by no means does that mean he is passive - there is a sort of low cunning to Nat, who has hatched more than a couple plots to escape servitude. He has abandoned such plans for now, but they are never far from his mind...   Goods or Services Bathing, Self-Service - 1 gm Bathing, Full-Service - 2 gm Massage, Foot - 1 gm Massage, Full-Body - 3 gm Sexual Services, Half a Bell - 3 gm Sexual Services, One Bell - 6 gm Sexual Services, Three Bells - 9 gm
