Place: The Featherbed

Near the docks, this place was originally a fine inn for incoming people on both boat and on foot (when Bloodhelm wasn't so big). The building is made of hard woods which were dragged in from quite a distance, the base finished with imported lava rock. The windows are large, the porch lined with stout colonnades and inviting front door carved with ivy and flowers.

The downstairs has a large dinning room, a huge kitchen and private dinning rooms. The rugs and wall hangings are old, but fine made and imported from Tayke when the House still stood. Upstairs the rooms each have a sleeping and sitting room. Beautifully, hand carved chairs and furniture with the ivy and flower theme fill the rooms. Curtains of velvet are hung on stout rods with ivy decorating both. Porcelain water basins and pitchers along with wooden wardrobes finish the rooms.

The only change since its founding is that now it is a brothel for the upper class. Dinner is served at all hours, as are the girls and men who work here. The prices are spendy. One dalliance might cost up to 50 ducats for mere hours. The owner of the Featherbed is Lindsey Dancer and her husband Donald. Donald inherited from his father, but he doesn't take as much interest in running the business as Lindsey. He would rather work on his carving then work in this line of work. Lindsey sees the business runs well, watches out for her girls, because they are a business assets, but is just to quick to let them go if they aren't working out.

Perhaps your players have need of a wand or staff carved for a magic item. Donald is one of the best carvers in Bloodhelm and works for reasonable prices.
