Cair Rahien {a Tar Valon Inn}

[Asfaloth]

An opportunity is open for characters from nearly every division to interact in a semi-neutral location--an upscale inn in Tar Valon.  This inn is owned and run by a retired Tower Guard, Dylan Ablard.

 

A description of the inn will follow in the next post.

 

How can your character take advantage of this inn?

 

--Any Freelander with a reasonable excuse for being in the city can rp here.

----anyone interested in having a character with a semi-permanent home at the inn contact me and we can set something up.

--Aes Sedai can go there for a nice glass of wine, maybe meet their Eyes and Ears.

--Accepted can be sent there with messages for AS.

--Warders, Tower Guards, and Trainees can go unwind, meet AS, smack unruly drunks around, etc.

----most of these can assume knowing Dylan and avoid those pesky introductions ;)

White Cloaks can come spy on what the Witches are up to.

Black Tower members can do same.

SG, Wolfkin, Band can all use the inn to meet people, conduct business, etc. etc. etc.

 

 

All rps with this inn will be on the Tar Valon board.

  Just west of the White Tower, across an extra wide street for the safety of the Tower, stands the Cair Rahien.  The complex consists of four buildings around a courtyard.

 

*The Courtyard contains ponds, streams, flower arrangements, walkways, and benches.  It is intended to be a calm, peaceful setting.  This may eventually also include an area roped off and designated for Traveling.  Maybe.

 

*On the south side is a two-story building with rooms for those employees who choose to live there.

 

*On the west side is a two-story stable.

 

*On the north side is a two-story building holding laundry facilities and storage rooms with access to the kitchen and the guest rooms (via a servant's staircase).

 

*On the east side is the main inn and tavern.

 

**Basement

----Large co-ed bath area with both hot and cold pools and a bar that serves drinks and snacks during busy times.

----Separate men's and women's bathing areas for those that are more modest.

----Private baths available for individuals or groups for an extra cost and with reservations (or a willingness to wait while the bath is filled and heated).

----Several saunas and steam rooms.

**Ground Floor

----Main Entrance is on east side.  NE and NW corners each have a small stage for musicians/performers and the wall between is one long bar with the kitchen behind it.  SE corner has a large stage for musicians/performers, the SW corner has a small bar to serve drinks, and between them is a large dance floor.

----The west wall has several doors opening out to the courtyard.  In the center of the west wall two staircases rise along the wall halfway up, meet at a landing and then turn to continue up to the second floor as one.

**Second Floor

----Central area accessed from main staircase is an extension of the common room below.

----On each side a wide balcony with room for tables forms a square overlooking the ground floor (dance floor on one side and tables on the other).

----Several private dining and meeting rooms open onto the three sides of these two balconies.

**Third through Sixth Floors

----Guest rooms of varying size and luxury.

----All rooms have a balcony facing the majestic White Tower, or the courtyard below, or both.
