The Black Garden

The Black Garden is a pleasure establishment found in the Northern Underground district of Kharkorhum. It serves multiple purposes but is renowned as a brothel and bath-house. It is closely associated with the First Serpent Distillery and is run by Madame Lilit.

Rotunda
The lobby of the Black Garden takes the form of a giant rotunda capped by a giant glass dome. Circular seating is placed everywhere with courtesans lounging on the red plush, shaded by trees and sweet-smelling plants.

West Wing
Generally not available for public wandering, the west wing of the Black Garden is primarily administrative in nature, housing offices for security and the Madame's office along with the shared living quarters and private bathroom of the courtesans employed there.

East Wing
The east wing is the main draw of the Black Garden, where guests can enjoy the company of the courtesans in private suites and secluded and curtained alcoves. A few bards are scattered about for private dances and security in plain leather armor lingers at the edges of the grand rooms and the ends of the private suite hallways. It is a two-story hall and golden oil lamps are lit outside occupied suites.

Bathhouse
Located behind the lobby, the bathhouse is available to the public for a small fee, divided into four sections: Pishon, the golden bath and the largest of the waters, spring-fed and magically heated; Gihon and Chidekel, the private baths for men and women; and Phirat, the private bath for well-paying patrons. The main bathwaters are warm and are attended to by a courtesan. Patrons can also ask the Gardien d'Baignoire to be led to one of the two steam rooms, or to a few private rooms for massages (with and without a happy ending).
