The Pleasure Quarter
The Pleasure Gardens
The Pleasure Garden is a large private flower garden which is open to the residents of Andovale and meant for their enjoyment, with neat walking paths and high, immaculately kept ornamental hedges and beautiful flowers. A number of these flowers are like nothing you will have seen before and some of them even glow in the dark.
It will cost you a small amount of Thumos to get into the gardens. The open space at the centre is often used for events, the surrounding pathways lit up with flaming torches at night. These events vary from pop-up concert halls, bandstands, amusement rides and travelling menageries.
The gardens do have another side to them. Their tall hedges and many private corners often draw people for a very different reason once the sun goes down. Just don't let anyone see you.

The Parkland
The biggest area in the Pleasure Quarter is its public green space and the Parkland is the place where high society goes for some fresh air and to "promenade" - a walk in public with the object of your affection to show that you're a thing basically.
There is a bandstand, a boating lake and a lawn tennis court. There are even some deeply unflattering statues of various Greek deities dotted throughout - Lady Pheme's sense of humour.

The 'Finer Things' Club
Don't let the name fool you, because what occurs in the 'Finer Things' Club is anything but fine. In fact, chances are this name is intentionally misleading as the The Finer Things Club is host to a bevy of salacious activities which have no place in high society. Smoking, excessive drinking, and Gods forbid the heavy gaming that takes place here.
Yes, you'll find no better place to set your hat aside and toss in your bets with the best of them. So, what are you wagering? Your house? Your pets? A quick, fast cache of Thumos?

Doctor's Office
The side of town best known for pleasure and leisure might seem a strange place for a doctor to set up shop, but as Dr. Merr would be the first to tell you, there's no better medicine than pleasure itself!
By modern standards, the practices employed by this doctor might seem rather concerning. Leeches and glasses of seawater are among his most prescribed cures.
He also keeps a bonesaw, a bottle of whisky, and a strangely phallic-shaped device on call for issues that require greater care.

The Shady Shoppe
Ask no questions and she will tell you no lies...
A market so shady, folks around these parts simply refer to it at the 'Shady Shoppe' and it took. Whatever the store's real name was seems lost to time, and that's probably for the better. Through a dark, craggy alley and down a few flights of stairs, you'll find it. Here, a local pettifogger might find anything they need for their unscrupulous activities. Poison for an enemy? They've got that. Love potion for a friend? They've got that, too.

Thermae Spa
Petals dance along the water's crest. Bubbles lap at your chest, and everything smells like roses and honey. The Thermae Spa is so warm, so relaxing, that chances are that you'll never want to leave.
Unsurprisingly, the waters here seem to have an aphrodisiac like effect on those who enter. Coming in with a partner is great, because you'll want to get as close as possible. Wander in with a group of strangers, and... well, you won't be strangers by the end of it all.

Brothels
Well, it's not called the pleasure district for nothing. Venture in far enough and you'll find any number of brothels catering to all sorts of needs. There's the Wet Quill, the Mossy Grotto, the Leather Ladies, the Puppies and the Paupers...
Not to mention they're always hiring, for those in search of all-hours, surprisingly progressive work with benefits and dental. Sure, the rest of society will have a lot to say about this, both for those working in brothels and those visiting, but, hey, Thumos is Thumos.

The Pleasure Quarter has the following choices of housing:
Looking out one's window, one might see a drunk passed out on the street, a lady peddling her salacious wares, an illicit game of three-card Monty... you never know what to expect, and that's the joy of it. Or, should we say the pleasure of it? Plus, they're excellent for parties!
Each penthouse suite can hold up to 6 people comfortably.
Cost: ৳ ৳ ৳ ৳
It's small, noisy, and far from glamourous, but some people prefer it that way.
Each room within a boarding house is meant for 1. Any more than that will cost you.
Cost: ৳ ৳
They're also one of the largest housing options. Of course that doesn't mean you have to share it, you can have this giant space all to yourself if you so choose.
As well as being Parkland adjacent, the mansions themselves also come with beautiful and spacious gardens for you to enjoy. Let's just hope you can afford it.
One of these mega-mansions can hold between 8 and 12 people!
Cost: ৳ ৳ ৳ ৳ ৳
PENTHOUSE SUITE
Sitting atop a brothel, or a gaming house, or some other frequented palace of sin and debauchery, these top-floor flats grant a fantastic view of all the comings and goings of the nightlife, perfect for those who want the full city experience.

BOARDING ROOM
For those with less expensive tastes, there's always somebody around willing to rent a room out to those in need. Here, you'll likely have to share a kitchen with the other tenets, but it's not all bad. The landlords tend to be kind and fair, and there's a good enough chance that you and your flatmates will get along. It's small, noisy, and far from glamourous, but some people prefer it that way.
