Backdrops

Locations

The White Lips brothel, entertainment house is a shabby collection of wooden walls and fabric tents, forming a complex messy warren of rooms. The dirt floors, soft pillows, low burning lanterns and heavy incense make for a dizzying experience.   The Watch Headquarters in the Fortress District is a three story stone building overlooking the Shadow town.   The Shepard and Scroll Inn is a cozy Inn that caters to adventure and thrill seekers. Renown for it's map collection on display (for a fee of course), it's brick walls, comfy chairs and magically heated baths.
