Alyssia’s
With its delicate design details, sweeping curved walls, and entrance fashioned to resemble the beautiful arch of an aiudara gate, the renowned tea house and art gallery known as Alyssia’s is perhaps the finest example of Castrovelian architecture still remnant in Absalom. The establishment’s proprietor, the graceful and well-mannered Alyssia of House Avenstar, ensures that the interior is just as steeped in elven traditions as its famed exterior, hiring several elven chefs and tea masters to provide resident and visiting elves and half-elves with a calming retreat replete with the considerable comforts of elven culture.
Although the majority of Alyssia’s patrons and staff are elves, Alyssia welcomes all patrons so long as they are tolerant, behave themselves, and can afford the premium prices she charges for goods available cheaper elsewhere in the city (though seldom all under one roof). Alyssia welcomes all of Absalom’s elves, but she prefers the rich ones. She tolerates visitors who simply wish to gawk at the gallery’s artworks or appreciate its unusual interior design, but quickly ushers away those who cannot afford to purchase food or tea once they have had a sense of the establishment’s considerable grandeur. She has little time or patience for troublemakers, and is quick to call the Brotherhood of Abadar at the first sign of a disturbance.
