F10 The Pampered Polecat

The establishment goes out of its way to avoid attention from passerby—tucked between a shops. But those who know its location find that it welcomes them with suffused amber light, air tinged with perfume, and beautiful hosts of every shape, size, and gender expression imaginable. A sign at the door reads: “No touching. Look to your heart’s content.”
This newly established business has generated lots of controversy among the local churches, guilds, and city officials. Some churches outright dismiss this type of business as abhorrent. Other religions embrace the lifestyle. Located in the Foreign District, this establishment occasionally attracts an unsavory type of clientele (rogues, adventurers, etc). But the huge influx of adventures to the city (and to this establishment) was enough for city officials to relish in the taxes it generates (and the city guards like to keep all the unsavory folk in one place). This multi-story building always has music emanating from it, and is decorated in many red ‘continual light’ globes hanging from its numerous balconies.
Gorgeous hosts of every shape, size, and gender expression imaginable greet you at the door with demure smiles. Soft, amber light and a curtain of perfumed smoke lends an almost magical, otherworldly glow to the spacious room, littered with comfortable seating areas and shadowed alcoves. “No touching,” your host reminds you cheerfully. “But please, feast your eyes.” A massive bar dominates one wall, its shelves stocked with every liquor imaginable, both mundane and magical. Hosts move gracefully from one table to the next, serving drinks and sharing pleasant conversation. Laughter fills the air, while in the far corner, a solitary bard strums pleasantly on a lute.

Nestled discreetly between two shops in the heart of Verbobonc's Foreign Quarter, The Pampered Polecat is a brothel and bathhouse known for welcoming patrons into a world of amber light, perfumed air, and beautiful hosts of every shape, size, and gender expression imaginable. Controversial yet highly popular, this multi-story establishment is decorated with red 'continual light' globes hanging from its balconies, offering an otherworldly glow to its spacious rooms.
