The Winedark Hours
The Winedark Hours is an elusive establishment nestled among the workshops and artist studios of Rootloch, offering patrons a space of quiet indulgence and creative exploration. Its unmarked entrance is hidden behind a sliding panel in a weathered brick wall, accessible only to those with knowledge of its whereabouts. Inside, the air is rich with the scent of aged spirits and faint alchemical fumes, while low lantern light casts shifting shadows over walls adorned with experimental art and salvaged curiosities.
Purpose / Function
The Winedark Hours is quietly overseen by The Coil and is reflective of their interests in what mysticism there is to be found in indulgence. Patrons often leave the Winedark Hours with more than a drink or inspiration—whispers of strange insights or unsettling dreams lingering long after their departure.
Architecture
Velvet curtains in deep, wine-stained hues hang in cascading layers, creating secluded alcoves and inviting pathways that blur the space’s boundaries. Ornate mirrors with tarnished edges reflect faint glimmering Gree-lanterns.
History
What began as a single, modest chamber tucked among Rootloch’s workshops grew slowly and deliberately, spreading room by room as word of its existence traveled in whispers. The Coil carefully cultivated its reputation, avoiding advertisements or overt signs to ensure only the curious and connected found their way inside.
