House of Spice

The House of Spice is a famous brothel run by Lady Dolly located deep in the muggy alleyways of the Fish Distrct within Sidon. It claims to "cater to every taste, no matter how strange or peculiar" so it's no secret there are foul rumors circulating about this place. Every sex worker is given a name, usually after a spice, when they're brought into the brothel that they must use while on the clock.

Two times a week in the evenings they clear out the first floor and host a band while serving hot food and drink.

The brothel is compact and three stories tall with the third floor being used for apartments to house some of the coworkers. The ground is stone and the next two floors being made of timber. Outside, it's not very assuming-a wood and brick entrance well below street level with a single red lamp beside the door, painted with pink flowers against dark chocolate wood. Once inside, the entrance strongly smells of spices and incense. Ornate stained glass lamps dangle from bronze chains over the floor, a black and white mosaic of an orgy.

The walls of the common room are made from dark wood-there are bright windows often partially shielded by thin cloth curtains with a pillowed floor. Big gaudy paintings of landscapes and nobles (pulled from the trash) hang from the walls. Your escort will take you to one of the three rooms on the bottom floor or either up the stairs to the second floor to one of the many rooms depending on the privacy one would desire.

Inside the room facing the street, there is a rug covering a secret panel that, when pressed, slides open to reveal metal ladder rungs descending into darkness. The shaft will take you down to a long wet drafty tunnel that will spit out the intruder out a trap door in an alleyway within the Marble District.
