Fayhost

Fayhost is a large, flower-themed resort town in the bay area of Sikliht Territory in southern Murake. Most of its trade is naval and its permanent population human. There are several places for tourists to stop here, and many do. The city is ruled by an iron-willed business-woman named Giselle Law, who is quite well known with the Company, for running the city well.

Show spoiler

Giselle is a Grunthora woman in the most distant form. She carries more of a stag/doe body. She is thin and has smooth chestnut fur with white spots at her shoulders and hips, and down the middle of her back. She wears a light grey tunic with Fayhost's city symbol emblazoned on its front-a large white lotus flower motif. Her hair is golden red and straight, cut shorter in the back, longer in the front. Stops just before her shoulders. A strand usually falls in front of her face. Her eyes are hazel, and are slightly larger than a typical person's.
Her personal and business life she tries to keep separate, but lately has been finding that difficult, thanks to a new love interest. She organizes so-called social gatherings often, but most of the time it is to keep up appearances and make connections among her city, these mean very little to her, unlike the other attendees.
She was born into a wealthy family. She once read a children's book about a hero fighting for good, and it inspired her to do the same. She fights for her people's rights and freedoms and to protect them from those that would take it.
At the current moment, she's worried about the number of bandits that keep attempting to break into the city. They keep harming their walls and the maintainers are getting upset having to fix them all the time. This, and of course trying to make a move on her love interest, Joan.

She demands respect from her populace, and gets it, in turn she helps those she watches over. The people living here are mostly happy and harmonious. Much of the business life here is tourism, and as such, many varieties of people can be seen here at any time.
Fayhost has erected walls sometime in the distant past made of petrified tropical woods and stone. They are tall and a point of pride for the craftspeople of the area that maintain them.
While no government exists truly in Murake, Joan Kane

Show spoiler

Joan is a young Grunthoran woman of a leopard/panther origin. She has silkly black fur with lighter spots on her stomach and neck. She wears baggy dark blue pantaloons and a grey half-shirt that connects to a scarf she lets flow down her back like a cape. She wears earrings and has an emblem of a lotus printed on her scarf. She wears her hair cut short in a black mop. Her eyes are amber and slitted like a cat's. She is skeptical of most things, and doesn't consider people innocent until they are proven so. She is a domineering person in her work, but can be rather submissive in her personal life. Her first love is her job, and her second is the lovely lady she works for. For most she will have to have a reason to be motivated, for Giselle, she is most obliging.
Joan was born to a pair of adventurers and grew up listening to their stories. She was gifted in her fighting abilities and she eventually took on a job as a bounty hunter and grew her following. Has a passion for proving her worth, especially to Giselle.

is Giselle's main forces leader, and calls her men feral dogs. She is also the head of the officers of the Company in Fayhost.
This city is broken into three districts: Moondew, Cottonbridge, and Orchard.

Show spoiler

Moondew district has all of Fayhost's docks, housing for sailors and naval pursuits, as well as easily accessed hotels for those getting off of ferries, traveling, etc.
Cottonbridge is the majority of Fayhost, and houses its permanent population. All manor of housing, businesses, and factory endeavors can be found here. Cottonbridge is also where the majority of Fayhost's flower production happens. Northern Cottonbridge, where the buildings are packed tightly together, is the place for those looking for some fun in a person to person way.
The Orchard district is the higher class of the city, where your noble families, rich merchants, those in power, and their lush entertainment reside.
Outside of Fayhost in the surrounding areas are vast swathes of farmland, used primarily for flowers, though a few are owned privately for the growing of foodstuffs and raw ingredients for special liquors.

Amenities offered in Fayhost:

Tavern: The Laughing Glass

Owner: Tyranie Lockshell, Female Half-Orc

Show spoiler

This woman stands just under 6'0", and is a bit bulky. She is muscular, particularly in her legs. Well-dressed. She has long red hair drawn back into a two-foot long braid. Her face is full, with rosy red cheeks, and she always seems to be smiling, with a disposition of mirth in her brown eyes.
She likes to brag about her accomplishments and is guilty of constantly trying to one-up people. She is a bit of a follower, and used to be manipulated by her brothers until she broke off on her own.
She was born the youngest of three triplets, and liked to wander the woods near her home. It's something she still likes to do, and will leave the city once a week to traipse about the jungle terrain south of Fayhost just to reconnect. During these trips she will wear simple clothing and remain barefoot.
She'd like to rejoin the armed forces of Fayhost, but her tavern and the people she has employed count on her too much for this.

Show spoiler

Show spoiler

The Glass is located on a side street near the east gate in the Orchard District. A fortune teller has a small table set up nearby, a helpful location for both of them. If you stick around outside long enough a couple of nobles may decide to have a bickering duel over a woman's honor.
The tavern itself is a timber and brick rowhouse, with a white shingled roof and shiny hardwood floors throughout. Tyranie lives above the tavern, and a few rooms are lettable to the general public. The building once housed a barracks, before Fayhost was a resort town, and as such, a suit of armor and matching swords still remain, now decorated to suit the demeanor of the tavern. The armor sparkles and is enchanted to laugh whenever someone tells it a joke. The tables and chairs in the lower level are tightly packed to accomodate as many patrons as possible. A singer or musician usually performs here at night.

Specials:

• Beetroot Soup with Barley Biscuits, Glass of Vodka - 5sp
• Ham Steamed Buns, Tankard of Beer - 4sp
• Fruit Steamed Buns with Cake, and Glass of Laughter - 5sp
• Glass of Laughter - 2sp
Show spoiler
Laughter is a spirit sold only here in the Laughing Glass, and it is the distilled end result of a long process of Wooping Berries. These are grown in the owner's spouse's lands to the east and south of town, and are distilled there as well. Laughter will make you laugh, that is just it. It wears off quickly. Can be a seriously fun thing, but in moderation. After all, if you laugh too hard, you may pass out from lack of oxygen, so the barkeep will cut you off if you turn purple in the face.

Other Possible Encounters

• Chem Pride, Male Dwarf, looking for a good time.
• Habor Blu, Male Human, deep in a cup of laughter with rosy cheeks and a case of the giggles.

Social Club: Whittley's

Owner: Allesander Whittley, Male Genasi (water)

Show spoiler

Allesander speaks with an almost imperceivable accent. He always seems to be a bit damp, as if he's just hopped out of the harbor. He typically wears fancy green clothing, or leather armor when he decides to get in a bit of a spar at his club. He has a trimmed silver beard and well groomed matching hair.
He always has a bit of advice for the passerby who needs it. He always tends to be a bit lonely, which is why he started a social club, to try and keep people around him at all times. Easily frightened, and likes to tell stories.

Show spoiler

Brothel: The White Lotus

Owner: Isabella Alding, Female Human**

Show spoiler

Isabella wears clothing that matches her skin-tone and is enchanted to shimmer like a thousand sequins. She wears her blonde hair in a fresh curled bob. Her face is typically half covered by a black veil. She wears a hat and red lipstick. Smokes.
Isabella is envious of other's things. She envies the beautiful, the rich, the plentiful. She hoards treasure, art, food, wine, and anything she desires. Her 'little flowers' as she calls them, are her employees. Has a collection of lovers and will hit on anyone she deems attractive enough, regardless of situation. (For example, once Joan had her in an interrogation room for questioning, and all she could do was ask when the woman was available, because she'd like nothing more than to make 'kitty purr'. Definitely a sexual creature.
Isabella was born in the northern country of Estrary, and as a youngling she loved to make pretty things. She worked for her father for a time, until working in the forge to change the plain to something useful became boring and she wanted to create something beautiful. An artist commissioned her as his muse, and they left her family together to travel the world. They ended up in Cornum for a time, and then he ran away with another woman and left her on her own. From there she worked as a courier for Malkai for a time, until she opened the White Lotus.

Show spoiler

Show spoiler

The Lotus is located on the edge of what you'd call a red-light district, but inside the Orchard District. The street outside is made of nice red bricks with lotus mosaics inlaid every fifty feet or so. It is an unusually nice neighborhood for such an establishment, with carriages passing by frequently, and large shade trees at every corner.
The building itself is large, three stories tall, wide and the entire length of a city block. Construction is wood and brick, and has nice plaster motifs and columns upholding a wooden front porch. A lotus sign hangs out front, enchanted with the scent of the flower and to let off an eternal pink light and fairy dust. Music thumps through the walls and you cannot see inside from the street. Once you walk inside, there's a large marble counter with several employees behind it, assisting customers. You can purchase foodstuffs or wine here, as well as show tickets and time. Tickets can be purchased for a variety of shows you can find in the Lotus, from enteraining dancers, to singers, musicians, animal tamers, acrobats, and a variety of other people. You can rent a room with or without entertainment. The cost varies of course.

Other Encounters:

• Dauphne, Changeling
  Show spoiler

  This changeling woman is the star entertainer of the Lotus, has the largest crowds, and commands the highest prices. She's lowkey famous throughout Fayhost, and many talk about her in the majority of Murake as well. Her favorite skin, and one the patrons seem to love as well, is that of a tall, pale-skinned elf, with thick, long white hair and similar eyelashes. Her ears were instead that of a doe, with small antlers bursting from her temples. Her cheeks had the lightest dusting of freckles, as well as her shoulders, and a few other places for the high-paying patron. She wears a translucent pearl dress that shimmers in the light, hinting at everything a person might buy if they paid the right price. Her eyes are brilliant blue-green, sultry and intelligent. Incredibly good at singing, and can keep her audience captive with that alone. She's 51 years old, but age rarely means much to a Changeling that can take whatever body they desire. A pair of bouncers usually accompany her wherever she goes, except for private client rooms. She is very popular with clients that wish her to take on a different form, as her skills in shifting are so minute and precise, that many clients can't tell the difference between her and the original, minus her eyes, of course.
  Dauphne's true form is translucent, like many Changelings, and her blood and veins pump brilliant neon green. Her hair is cut in a short bob in that form, growing a natural lily-pad green.
  Show spoiler

  DM only info
  Dauphne was there the night Fodel and Aislyn met again in Fayhost. Fodel was feeling like escaping so he saw a show of Dauphne's a paid for an exclusive time with her after one of her performances. He had her shift into Aislyn's form, they fucked, and he confessed to her during this interaction. This led Dauphne to be a bit jealous of this other monster girl, but also pity the god for his obvious affections. She kept the small portrait of the woman he gave her for reference, and he left her soon after they were finished. If you ask her about these things she will be a wealth of information- and she will let you see the portrait of Aislyn. Did Fodel visit again and leave her instructions? He may have visited her in a dream, 'if someone questions you about me, about Aislyn... give them this--' You may be able to convince her to part with it or steal it too. The portrait has another note stuck into the back, an addition added recently, as it definitely wasn't there the night she kept it.
• Cecily Roscoe, Female Human
  Show spoiler

  curvy dark skinned woman. Wears glasses and black leather. Her hair is pulled back tightly and poofed out at the top. Has large hoop earrings. Wealthy. Has worked at the Lotus for a couple of years now, strictly as an employee, not an entertainer. Has 'joined in' a night or two.
• Two Llamas to the Wind, Male Grunthora
  Show spoiler

  A middle-aged Grunthora man that was born with two cocks. He dressed above average, usually wearing a vest over his clothing, nice trousers and leather shoes. He doesn't seem threatening by appearance alone. His beige fur is thick and easily matted, so he constantly tries to keep it combed. Has hazel eyes. Keeps his hair medium length and combed back and to the side. A night with this man will not be easily forgotten.
  Two Llamas typically prefers just to be called Wind while he is working, to at least keep part of his special abilities secret from the public, it makes it more entertaining this way for him. He used to having a large amount of sex appeal, after all, why wouldn't he? He lacks a concept of privacy, especially about sex, and will share a lot of information easily. He is a little underhanded and not above using his wealth and body to get others to do his bidding. These qualities are what made Isabella want him in the first place... well that and she slept with him and told him he wasn't allowed to leave. They both get what they want and so does the audience; it all works out.
  He is the product of a well-kept family trust fund, and as such has never really known need. Would like to marry and retire, but has too much fun fucking to settle with one person. Speaks in the third person.
• Alina Stanfford, Female Human
  Show spoiler

  A tall slender woman with dark hair coiffed into a slick updo. She wears glasses and carries a clipboard that she's constantly making notes on and referencing. She is an important staff member, as she manages all the shows and monetary needs of the Lotus. If anyone were called the manager, it would be this woman. She was born into a family of healers, but her mother died in childbirth, and her father struggled to pay the bills, so she became a mercenary. Or was, until she was given an opportunity to kill someone at the Lotus and gave everything up for Isabella and her operation. Has a rather strict way about her, but likes sweets, and can be persuaded with them.
• Hunter Sherwood, Male Changeling
  Show spoiler

  One of Isabella's shifters, this man typically waxes poetry on one of her smaller staged rooms. His current form is moderate in height with chestnut hair cut in a short style that he keeps curled. His skin is always a bit pale, regardless of what form he takes. His eyes are violet in every form. A bit of an eccentric, can be seen wearing any variety of odd clothes. Loves his small glasses filled with orange glass. Has a short moustache and wears a vest with no shirt underneath most of the time. Greedy, a bit of an addict, can be a little unstable when he's drunk or high. Mother was in a military unit and hid her pregnancy. She died while he was still young. Has always wanted to use his abilities for helping people, but fell into a pit of addiction, and now his debts to Isabella are high, but so is his fan base so she can't get rid of him.

His apprentices are always coming up with new ways to integrate the two, and much of their wares show this combination.

Alchemist: The Bolstered Bloom

Owner: Roland Tocksbury, Male Human;

Show spoiler

Has moderately dark skin and is leanly muscled. Is a rather plain man, caring more for his ingredient plants than his own health and safety. His hair is silver in color, and is quite long. It's usually in a braid, but is rather sloppy, constantly falling out. His eyes are green. For some reason, Roland is rather irascible, or easily irritated; especially when it comes to his dear plants. Has a bad habit of asking to come along on journeys for new plants. Will attempt to stowaway on any ship he can in hopes of finding new and interesting reagents. This man was born into a well-off family used to setting on their wealth and throwing it around to get their way. None of his other family members went into a trade, outside his late mother, or does anything worthy of skill, primarily bullshitting with other businesspeople, and talking down on him. The desire to be recognized as himself and his accomplishments led him into alchemist work with a master there in Fayhost. The work suited him fine, and with each successful project, he earned a little more gold and respect from others in the trade. His mother was a master alchemist as well, but was forced to stray from the trade when she married his father.

Show spoiler

A cat frequents the place, and is typically seen with the local children.

Enchanter: Armina's Clairvoiance

Owner: Armina Blake, Female Human;

Show spoiler

Armina is a tall woman that wears a brown witch hat and surprisingly matching clothes. She would say, upon questioning such plainness, that they've been enchanted so many times with various oddities, that they lost the ability to hold any color she throws at them, so brown it is. She wears a ring on her left hand with an oversized ruby set in it. Her black hair is pulled back and knotted into thick dreads. Her golden brown skin is freckled and pretty. Armina loves puns and will make them whenever she can. She is a follower more than a leader, and is sometimes taken advantage of by her family for that reason. (lately though, she's tried to get away from that, and now lives in an apartment above her shop). She is the youngest of three triplets. Her mother has passed away, and her father dotes on her. Because of that, she thinks of herself pretty highly; reinforced by her attractive face. A rival would like to change that. When she has kids, she'd like to raise them well. Can be hired as a body guard. Rhymes her sentences.

Owner: Naivara Ethanasa, Female Elf;

Show spoiler

Naivara is a cold, calculating woman, as any former lawyer would be. She has wavy black hair and violet eyes. To someone new, you would never guess that Naivara is insecure and second-guesses herself. Those that know her, however, notice her quirks easily. This elven woman enjoys the physical pleasures in life, and has a unique love of warm baths, especially in the natural hot springs throughout the country. Has been known to travel for this purpose. She was born in the rough countryside to the east of Murake, in the unclaimed lands of the Allant volcano. Her family were a powerful go-between for various countries to hire, due to their nationality of nothing. She struck up in the field of law to follow them and negotiated between countries as a neutral party before eventually leaving the family business. She since drifted to the lawless country of Murake, and started a general store in Fayhost. Some of her wares she makes herself.

Show spoiler

An older Fukibi man, just over 60, tends to wear a large red jacket that flows over his feathers and almost to the floor.

He is a devout follower of the Divines, and seeks to payback kindness whenever he gets the chance, to do his utmost to follow the neutral good karmic path set out before him. His parents were two great black Fukibi in Malkai, but his true father was a snowy white male, and his plumage at birth showed the truth. His father always resented and mistreated him for this out of spite for his mate's infidelity. At early adolescence his father passed away. His mother tried to keep him connected but he decided to search for his real father, and left to see the world. After a while he joined the courier service for Malkai, and made some connections and life-long friends. Did marry, but he and his spouse had trust issues, and they eventually divorced.

Cartographer: Meadow Wind, Male Tabaxi; Cottonbridge

Show spoiler

Sometimes can be seen with a blue scarf abotu his waste and bag strapped across his shirt, a map case. his fir is orange, silky and of moderate length. Sometimes wears a cap. Meadow is quick and blunt in his responses, to try and keep his word usage to a minimum to avoid giving away secrets accidentally. Does stutter, but uses this natural nervouseness as a weapon to lead people into thinking he's in distress. Meadow was born the youngest of four, a gifted boy who started into the world as a healer, but grew bored of constantly healing the same knife wounds in the crime filled streets of Murake. So he became a cartographer. He remains aloof and unattached to any one personality, due to the ideals others lay on him. Is slightly unsatisfied with his work, but eventually wants a family and to raise them well, so he sticks with it; the work is respectable at the very least.
