Brothel
Games - 8 pm Friday night.
In the middle ages, a single establishment might well serve multiple
functions. While a single building might serve as a church for the
Glory of God and yet at the same time be a hospital to tend to the
sick and injured, other multipurpose establishment might be combination
restaurant, bar, gambling den, and brothel. One such establishment
has left a curious document, which details various games played
and wagers placed within during the later years of the reign of
Queen Elizabeth the first. This infamous den of iniquity was located
in one of the channel ports, where it provided entertainment of
a low and common type to the worst sorts that always accumulate
in such places. In reporting on these degraded practices, my sincere
hope is that by educating oneself to the horrors that occurred in
such places, people will more fully appreciate the wonders of Truth,
Justice, and the Meridian way that we live with every day. Due to
adult subject matter you must be at least 18 years old to attend
this class. Your instructor will be
Ameris of Erlinstar.
