The Crimson Rose

If you have heard of Crimson Bay, then you may already be familiar with its notorious reputation as a lawless pirate haven, where trade, revelry, and danger intertwine. But even within this city of rogues and corsairs, The Crimson Rose stands apart. The establishment was founded the year after Crimson Bay itself was established - at least according to hearsay, as no records of either founding date exist. More than just a common pleasure house, the Rose is a well-respected establishment with strict rules and a reputation for refinement amidst the roughness of the bay. Many see the Rose as the jewel of Crimson Bay.

This section is really not for the tenderhearted. There is a lot of spicy information here, so only proceed if you are sure, you are a true Adventurer who can handle it!

A Legend in the Making

To step into The Crimson Rose is to enter a world where pleasure is an art form, where rules create an oasis of refinement in a city of chaos. Those who respect the laws of the house will find themselves well-rewarded, while those who break them will find themselves cast out - perhaps even facing consequences far worse than mere exile. For those seeking the finest indulgences Crimson Bay has to offer, there is no place more revered than The Crimson Rose.

Plötzlich wirkt Zeyra Leryns Herkunft nur noch halb so desaströs. Dieses Etablissement tut sehr viel zum Schutz seiner Arbeitskräfte – wahrlich eine Seltenheit in allen Welten.

Wenn sie nicht genau in dieses Haus verkauft worden wäre, dann hätte sie es vermutlich nicht mehr rausgeschafft aus Crimson Bay.

This place is beautifully described, well done! I think the name of the bouncers is so well picked! I was wondering, how old is this establishment? And how is a Matron chosen? Or is the position inherited with the establishment?

Or, if you want something darker, Crux Umbra awaits.

I love the Thorns. Makes so much sense to have that role there as well. The rules and culture of this place make me happy. :)
