Though many English, and thus knightly, realms did not really have bathhouses like the Romans, my world has them all over. Of a similar fashion as Roman bathhouses, the bathhouses of Bloodhelm has several large pools and several private pools. Depending on where the bathhouse is in Bloodhelm, the prices vary as does how elaborate they are. The upper end bathhouses have tiled floors, mosaics, fine art and baths that can be rented singly or as a group. Wine is usually served and even fine foods if the clients wish.
The lower class baths are sometimes made of stone or tiled, but most of the time the tubs themselves are stone, but the areas around them are wood and maybe not as well heated, or changed as often, as the higher class ones. These are usually only group baths, though with enough money they could probably be rented by a single person.
Prices vary from a few copper pennies to several gold ducats depending on the location and if food is provided. Bathhouses would be great places to learn rumors, perhaps assassinations, or even meeting potential employers.
