PÜERTAGŒ

The Inva' Theater

Proprietor: Mel'Ravi

​

The Inva' Theater is located in the third ring of Püertagœ. It's a luxurious, and yet fun, theatre where Mel'Ravi's actors put on numerous plays and dramas for the public. It's location means that it's most frequent visitors are the upper class, just the way Mel'Ravi likes it. Upon entry, one is greeted with two doorways on either side. To the right, a lovely lounge open all hours where one can get a drink or two (a drink limit exists here, of course], a nice snack, or just hang around and relax for a bit on one of the many lounge couches, or at the bar section. To the left, one is directed to the theater. Rows and rows of comfortable seating, a wide and expansive center stage, and a ceiling built to resemble the lush jungle of the Khah; homeland, The Inva' Theatre prides itself on it's aesthetic and it's luxury. Mel'Ravi's own home is connected to the Theater, right above it, actually!

 

It's been said, among the Flame's members of course, that Mel'Ravi was given the Theatre as a way to wedge her presence into the upper class of the city. After all, some of their guests have even been members of the 12 Greater Families.

RING 4:

This is where the markets begin. The entire run of the fourth ring is where you can find silks, clothing, grain, and places to sit and eat, like that of the bistros we are used to on Earth. Keep in mind that towering above the main street of the fourth ring are residences. These dwellings are a mix of upper and middle-class. Upper class dwellings are cut off after the fourth ring.

The Well of Splendor
Owned & Operated by Tai'Lin

​

The Well of Splendor is the oldest and premier fragrance and

cosmetic shoppe, nestled in the 4th Ring of Püertagœ. Being a

part of the metropolis going on 5 Tam'nýer—a''n years, it is a

staple in self-care and pampering. The Well of Splendor also

specializes in bespoke fragrances, for the right price, of course.

The shoppe is difficult to miss for its stunning architectural design,

distinct windows and doorway. But even more noticeable is the

plethora of flowers viewable through these windows. Whenever

the door opens, it is difficult not to get a whiff of the legitimate

apothecary magic inside. Its fragrances are also useful as soap

tends to be extremely expensive, and 'mass produced' scents

come cheaper. But whatever the product made here is nothing

short of quality and sophistication made from the purest of

ingredients.

Truly, the Well of Splendor, which offers shampoos, soaps, lotions, perfumes, is there for all social classes be they low or high, and have something for everyone, believing that a person's well-being should always be in style and to individual taste; an extension of oneself.

The Glass Clinic
Owned by Kaa | In'Anna

​

The Glass Clinic is more or less a hidden gem of the 4th ring. Usually decorated outside with various flower, the Glass Clinic is a place to receive expert healing, and medical advice, which may seem odd or a bit unsettling as the owner is a Nkhya’jran man by the name of Kaa. However, don't let that dissuade you, as he is very knowledgeable as well as dedicated to his craft.

Another surprise to be had inside the Glass Clinic is that Kaa is not only a doctor, but a jeweller in his own right, sometimes mixing his understanding of the two in order to heal. He may be of little words, though he is arguably one of the most learned making him worth every P'ee K'äh. In addition to merely Kaa's talents, he has an apprentice who is learning quickly and starting to make a name for herself as well: In'Anna.

​

The Euf'yr House
Owned & Operated by Les'Kay

​

The Euf'yr House is the place in Püertagœ to learn about these adorable creatures, purchase one and buy accessories for them. All the Euf'yrs that are for sale here are bred by the proprietor himself. If you are interested in paying the sweet Khah' owner, Les'Kay, a visit you can find his wonderful shoppe in the 4th Ring. Although be prepared to be assaulted by flying adorable fluffs when you enter.

​

​

RING 5:

The theme of the fourth ring continues here, minus the upper class, but that does not mean that they do not come to the fifth ring to shop. The fifth ring is where the market really takes off. This is where the butchers start, and bulk shops for sweets, grains, and beverages. There are also luxury inns here for wealthy travelers and merchants that hail from other places.

 

RING 6:

Sixth ring, despite being towered over by more middle-class residences is where there are not only markets that open in the early morning and stay open till late at night, there are bakeries, gift shops, grocers, butchers. Ring 6 is essentially main street.

​

​

Dverī Dreams
Proprietor: कजि वतल्फिनस् Kaji Vatalphinas

​

Dverī Dreams hasn't been around too, too long in Püertagœ but it certainly has a reputation for being one of the best places to satiate a sweet tooth, if not the best. Serving people of all backgrounds alike, Dverī Dreams specializes in beautiful pastries and cakes that will take you on a mouth watering journey indeed. You can also find some Dverī Dreams goods served in the Red Rose Teahouse, as well as The Grásh & Flame.

​

​

RING 7:

The two most iconic buildings in the seventh ring is a secondary military barracks, albeit much smaller than the one in the third ring, and the main public bath house of Püertagœ. The bath house is always flanked by members of the military to ensure safety, and aid tourists, as well as newcomers. Due to the public bath, and its large size, the seventh ring is the widest.

• The seventh ring is currently going through a beautification upgrade: new festively coloured banners with Püertagœ's flag insignia are being installed along the homes above that make up ring 7, and array of large potted flower arrangements as well as trees.

Joreign's Troupe Spectacular

"Come one, come all to see Joreign's Troupe Spectacular! Be amazed by our talented and danger defying fire trickster, gasp in awe as you watch a contortionist bend in unimaginable ways, be inspired by our aerial ribbon dancers, and laugh along with our comedic acrobats and mimes! These unique acts and more are waiting for you at our own location in Püertagœ's 7th Ring, or catch us as we travel the world on special request! Just look for the brightly colored big top tent and you'll know you are in the right place."

 

Recently Joreign's Troupe Spectacular has become a staple to the Püertagœn people, performing frequently in Püertagœ's 7th Ring, as it is the widest and safest to perform there. They only perform during certain hours and certain days (as to still permit those to have a relaxing bath in the public bath house), but they cannot be missed even if you are simply passing through.

​

​

RING 8:

In the eighth ring, middle class homes still reign here, however the markets are not as hustle and bustle as Ring 5 & 6. There are still vendors here, with some private bath houses, but light industry begins to show. Artisan light industry, to be exact, such as hand blown perfume bottles, and art work. Even street-side doctors selling tonics, and fortune tellers are dotted about.

​

Song of Lust

Proprietor: Tolla Düra
 

Nestled in the 8th ring of Püertagœ is the Brothel Song of Lust, a small professional no-nonsense operation. Come in, pay, get fucked, go away. This is the brothel of the working class and it shows. Old furniture bought at auction with the occasional new piece, cheap watered down booze, or legitimate bottles reserved for customers who have proven their worth, and regular shows to entice and distract clientele. Privacy is purchasable at the Song, otherwise client and prostitute work one of the common rooms.

 

Shows at the Song usually consist of two or more of the workers doing a strip tease for the gathered audience before they fuck in front of  the engaged crowd. Despite this being extremely bold, the worship and devotion to Bók-T'ak provides a glorious loophole, especially since they host an altar to her in the foyer. Frequently requests are made for specific shows to be put on for specific groups. Ãoni night is a particular favorite. When they can manage it, Giyu nights are some of the most popular nights the Song will see in a given Tam’nýer—a’’n fortnight (6 earth months).

 

One can buy two things at the Song; an outcome or time. Time is more expensive, and more fun (unless you wanna talk the entire time). Group events and orgies are available as well. Workers can also make house visits to a select and trusted series of repeat customers for an extra cost. 

 

The Song employs a few mercenaries and such to break up fights and other rowdy behavior from the clients, but for the most part it's a fairly peaceful location. The employees of the Song are a diverse group of sex workers, some having been at the game for a while, others being brand new. There is a healthy flux of coming and going workers, but there are a few that have been working at the Song their whole professional life. 

 

The Song is run by a Madame, always one of the old workers, and eventually when they choose to retire they leave the place to a chosen successor, otherwise the next owner is voted on by the workers.

RING 9:

The ninth ring is were we start to get into a mix of middle class and lower class residences, making more basic vendor stalls that provide solely the necessities more prominent. Fruits, vegetables, and luxury 'high shelf' items such as soap the main focus. This is also where more locals tend to shop so that they don't need to go to rings further away to get their groceries and deal with the height of potential tourists.

​

RING 10:

Now, we are solidly in the lower class dwellings. Despite being a lower class area, there are stunning sculptures to mark the openings of the aqueducts, and are lined with non-toxic leafy plants. Industry such as paper making warehouses, glass making, and plaster makers are here. Soap making is also located here, as well as stone masons. Most warehouses or studios have an attendant overseeing a booth outside to sell the wares and act as advertisement of what the manufacturers are capable of.

With having the residences and workplaces within the same ring, if nothing else, this creates a lax environment for the workers. This makes commutes rather enjoyable and/or non-existent. This also ensures that families get more time together.

​

RING 11:

Warehouses, studios and lower class residences are still afoot in the eleventh ring, however, it is mixed with necessity vendors and inns for late night travellers who make it into the city. X'jürtasm, the large soup kitchen to help the needy in Püertagœ is also located here in the eleventh ring. The unfortunate thing is that low-end taverns are here as well, so the ring tends to fill with sleeping miscreants, beggars and homeless. Due to this, the eleventh and twelfth rings have more lantern patrols than any others.
