Who, Where, What… a bit of inspiration

Ad Solte provoked me🥰 , but he doesn't know that I have a mountain of things created to enrich Solaine's world in recent years 😜😈

So here's some inspiration for the "Who, Where, What": the port city of Tatiavor, everything else, you'll have to put it in on 4 September, 5 pm CET... but only if you're the quickest ❤️

TATIAVOR
Tatiavor stands proudly on the Gulf coast at the entrance to the expansive Mool Fjord; always facing south, Tatiavor is a port city shrouded in an aura of mystery and adventure. Its houses, built of gray stone, climb thick and disorderly on steep hills, forming winding streets and stairways. To the east of the houses, stands the Grigio, the austere castle, residence of the Lords of all the Marches of Tatiavor. Watchtowers reach towards the sky, keeping watch over the dark sea. The salty smell mixes with the scent of spices and incense, while the din of merchants, sailors, and travelers fills the air.
Wooden and stone arcades adorn the streets, and colorful stalls reveal exotic treasures from distant lands. The buildings feature pitched roofs and arched windows, capturing the golden light of the sun and the reflection of the sea. The city is a crossroads of cultures and adventures, attracting myriad races and social classes. The harbor is a ballet of sailing ships and merchant galleys, while seagulls dance above the waves in search of catch. And in the evening, when the ships doze moored to the sturdy wooden and stone piers, the trees are a bare forest, dotted with lanterns and dark figures who watch, flirt, or let Osther, son of the God Otta, whisper the spell of the sleep in their ears.
Tatiavor is like a seductive siren, enchanting with its rugged beauty and its promise of secrets to be discovered within the folds of its intricate streets and crowded taverns. And as the sun hides in the west, the city transforms into a realm of shadow and light, where adventures begin and stories intertwine.

The Three Pearls – Inn
Hidden among the cobbled streets of Tatiavor, a port city wrapped in an atmosphere of mystery, stands "Le Tre Perle". The inn enchants with its ivy-covered exterior and flickering lanterns. Inside, the warmth of the fireplace mixes with the smell of freshly caught fish. Adventurers, Sailors, and ordinary people gather under vaulted ceilings, surrounded by walls decorated with ancient maps and marine relics. The owner, an old captain with captivating stories, offers hearty food and spicy drinks, while his three daughters (had by three different women) sing ballads of distant lands. "Le Tre Perle" is a refuge and cradle of stories, legends, and adventurous plans.

The House of Hephia
Hidden in the intriguing shadows of Tatiavor's steep streets, 'The House of Hephia' is a whorehouse shrouded in mystery. Its worn walls tell stories of sinful nights and forbidden desires. Inside, dark velvet and smoldering chandeliers create an atmosphere of luxurious elegance. Her mistress, Hephia, once an acclaimed Southern beauty, now brings her aged charm to guests. The attraction for sailors and adventurers, the inn offers more than moments of passion: it is a refuge where whispered secrets mix with the scent of fine liqueurs. "The House of Hephia" welcomes souls seeking dark pleasures, an echo of Tatiavor's past.

The Half-Vessel – Inn
In the shadow of the imposing Gray of Tatiavor, "The Half Vascello" stands out with its figurehead protruding from the facade. Inside, despite the very large common room, flickering candles illuminate the woodwork creating an atmosphere of elegance and intimacy. The innkeeper is Drenga Half-Punch, a half-ogre woman named for her three missing fingers, she rules over the dining room and kitchens with wisdom and authority.
Sailors and adventurers flock to the venue, seeking escape from reality and temptation in the arms of prostitutes dressed in precious fabrics. The inn, thanks also to Drenga's skill, offers aromatic drinks and spicy delicacies exclusive throughout Tatiavor. "Il Mezzo Vascello" is a true refuge, where the echo of every wave brings new stories to discover.

Phoenix' Baths – Baths and spas
In the suggestive Tatiavor, the "Phoenix' Baths" are more than bathrooms: they are a social epicenter. Glittering pools and silk-wrapped alcoves become stages for business negotiations, secrets are woven underwater, and political plots. The drops create a scene of stars, while the bodies of water reflect passionate loves and bitter betrayals. In this city, swimming pools are transformed into beating hearts of intricate relationships, each guardian of a secret history. Tatiavor, with its Phoenix' Baths, captures the essence of a world of perfumed steam and inextricable intrigue.

The Queen – Gaming House
In the beating heart of Tatiavor, stands majestically "The Queen", an inn and gambling house known from the westernmost coasts of Pernt, to the Auren Peninsula. Its white stone walls and blue-roofed turrets evoke the aura of decadent royalty. Here the smells of tobacco and ambergris blend, while the laughter and whispers of shrewd merchants and scoundrels fill the air. Inside, the tapestry of gaming offers dice and card tables, attracting souls eager for luck and intrigue. The mistress, known as "The Queen of Cards", reigns over this place of opportunity and risk. Guests gamble on gold coins and uncertain fates, sometimes leaving the environment with nothing more than the taste of deception. But, for those navigating this whirlwind of deals and tricks, "The Queen" offers the promise of undiscovered riches and adventure with every card turned.
