Caldiran Baths
The Caldiran Baths are a volcanically powered bathhouse in Paragan.
The baths are dragon themed, with many hot waterspouts moulded to look like dragon heads. The many pathways between the hot springs are carved to resemble large dragon scales. The eponymous Caldira was a legendary red dragon who slumbered within Mount Nidofuoco, until the early construction of Paragan awoke it, almost spelling doom for the fledgling city. Caldira was defeated by the mightiest of the city but caused massive destruction and casualties in the process. Investigation of the mountain led to the discovery of the dragon’s immense treasure hoard, which paid for the reparations and catapulted the city to immense wealth and prosperity.
The baths are a place for social interaction, with many deals being done amongst the steam and aromatic bath salts. The inability to conceal weaponry in an undressed state also makes this an attractive spot for parlays amongst political and criminal factions alike. Generally, the baths are viewed as neutral territory with any conflict risking a lifetime ban. Thankfully, confrontations are rare, with the odd exception of wayward steam mephits causing mischief.
Run by a red-skinned tielfling called Wholesome or simply Some for short– “Personally, I like the heat.”
