Agina's: A bottom-of-the-scale brothel. Some of the "artists" here are slaves (slavery, as such, is supposed to be illegal in Lirith Kai, but the law is ambiguous and, where the owner and slave are both, as in this case, non-Adantri, very difficult to enforce). The place and its inmates are reasonably clean, but sometimes the customers are, shall we say, relieved of all valuables on their persons... This place has been used (though the police aren't sure of it) as a holding point for kidnap victims, with Agina taking a cut of the ransom or assisting in the sale of the unransomed... "Service" here will run you about a copper flat. No food or drinks are served. Agina's is one of the places where you can make contact with the criminal world of Dal Shang and Lirith Kai at large, and Agina's name is one an Alastarian crook might know.

This place is a real pit, and there is currently an effort being made to "clean up Agina's."

House of the Jade Gate: A middle-of-the-scale brothel or "pink flower house." The artists are clean, honest, and pleasant company; the food and drink are okay--not great, but definitely not swill, either; and the prices are moderate. Several gladiators come here. Any who make trouble, though, are asked to leave and not permitted to return. (Being a licensed brothel, they can and will ask for police protection. When the problem customer is a gladiator, sometimes one of the Dark Arena warriors will hire out as a deterrent.) Price is usually around a silver shield.

House of Three Willows: A very classy, expensive "bower of the pink flowers," house of assignation, or brothel. Here you get women and men who have all the most polished accomplishments--sing, dance, make delightful and witty conversation, play musical instruments and tricky chess-like games with skill, and so on. The food and wine are superb--you get what you pay for. Some people come here, by appointment, to meet with lovers that they can't meet in public. Many important deals are discussed over the dinning tables here or in the private rooms. Some people even engage in sex here, but many come just for the company. The madam, the bouncers, and many of the artists are damn' good fighters, and no rowdiness is tolerated. They have had some discouraging experiences with gladiators here and are reluctant to accept them as clients... You could, easily, spend a gold shield here for an evening and never touch a girl.
