Rose of Hedon

The Rose of Hedon is the capital ship of the Apple of Hedonism and the citadel of Desire. It is a massive city, dozens of layers deep and kilometers wide. It is under constant growth and expansion, and is the largest ship in Ethnis.

Layout

The Rose is laid out in wedges, each the domain of a different Leisure of Desire. The laws of this place are strange and complex, each changing from one street to the next by posted laws of Mirita Consentia.

Each of the Prince-Ruled districts has a centerpiece reflecting their prince.

Limbo

A trade port where most anyone is allowed into. Only residents are allowed past this point.

Gardens of Relaxation

Ruled over by Lord Unchea, Prince of Relaxation, the centerpiece of this district, Unchea's Palace, is a mountain of tiered gardens, each catering to different whims of relaxation. The core theme is often sleep, or stillness, enjoying being passive while being pleasured in other ways--food, drink, music, sexual gratification, drugs, and so forth.

Ruled over by Lady Voracious, Prince of Indulgence

Arena of Pride

Ruled over by Bel-Shaz'zr, Prince of Pride, the centerpiece of this district is massive arena forty floors high, each with its own challenges. On the top floor is Bel-Shaz'zr's colliseum, where the fortunate few may challenge Bel-Shaz'zr to a duel--if they can drew his blood before he injures them, they win. If the match lasts longer than an hour, they enter sudden death and he is allowed to kill them.

Fields of Ambition

Lady Akrasiel, Prince of Ambition

Vaults of Affluence
