Bath House

Owned and operated by a finicky man named Tremelo, these are the only public baths in Lankhmar. Tremelo spends most of his time ensuring that the baths are spotless and perfectly organized. He is always in good humor, especially when he is cleaning.

Purpose / Function

The first aim of this ancient Lankhmart bath house, then, was to promote health and cure medical conditions by providing gymnasia. Weights, wrestling, ball games, running and swimming were all part of the regime. But the bath houses were also places of leisure in every sense of the word. Elaborately decorated with mosaics and marble, statues and wall paintings. Music, drink and food is also available, in small amounts.

Architecture

Most of Lankhmar's buildings are made from the local wood, not the golden-colored Eastern Stone. This bath house is made completely of stone. The dominant architectural style is Classic Lankhmart, which evolved from the revival style that became popular in the last century. The city of Lankhmar became a fashionable and popular spa and social centre during the last century. Based initially around its hot springs, this led to a demand for substantial homes and guest houses.
