House of Feathers
The House of Feathers is an elegant and sophisticated provider of intimate personal services for wealthy clients drawn from the elite of Carafon society. It can be found in the Summit Zone of the city.
The House of Feathers is owned and run by Madam Rosalind Nunn. She looks after the staff and the money and has become wealthy in her own right.
Architecture
The House of Feathers is surprisingly large with a number of small rooms and larger open spaces, all tastefully decorated with heavy green drapes and the thematic presence of carved and real feathers. The reception hall, shown below, is the first room that opens up behind the discrete recessed public doorway. The girls gather here to gossip, sew and wait for customers and there is always food and drink made available on the long tables.
From the hall, a doorway on the left, leads to two private dormitories where the girls sleep when they are not otherwise employed.
There are also entrances to three "working" bedrooms and some larger specialist rooms.
The first of these is the pool room, a heated sunken bath in an enclosed courtyard, shown in the image at the head of the article. This area benefits from occasional shafts of light that come through metal grills opening onto the summit of Carafon hill.
There are two parlours, including the one shown below, which can be used to accomodate a small number of private diners for intimate parties.
The Verdant Salon is a room for conversation and a place where some of the more musically gifted girls can sing and play with harps, flutes and lutes. There is also a stage for dancing and gaming tables which can be used for cards, dice and gambling of many kinds.

The reading room is a private area, behind the pool room, reserved for the staff and mainly used as a place to meet for food, drink and quiet conversation. Religious instruction and services of contemplation are given here once a month by the Church of Hidden Radiance. Only eunachs, or priests who have taken the strictest vows of chastity are allowed to enter the reading room, since Madam Rosalind insists that this place, just like the private dormitories, is to be kept entirely free of the kind of business practiced elsewhere in the House of Feathers.
Tourism
Madam Rosalind Nunn has acquired a reputation for the skilful management of customers and staff and she is assiduous in looking after all their needs. From time to time, she arranges various specialist entertainments, which are by invitation only to her most favoured clients.
