So it was of no surprise that the south docks often teamed with those wishing to gather or sell, trade or barter there peculiar services, the south docks where also home to the local Paladin's of Corean, a peculiar tattoo shop among many others, the shrine to Manawe and of course the harbor masters office.<br/><br/>The south docks where not the most pleasant on the senses particularly the the nose, it was almost impossible to escape the smell of dead fish, smoke and boat tar which hung oppressively over the entire docks. Only in some of the buildings of the docks could one find escape from the sights and stench, although they where often traded for other unwholesome sights or smells.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i52.tinypic.com/9fo32s.jpg)</div>One particular establishment within the south docks had a reputation that extended beyond the boundaries of the city of sin, swiftly becoming rumor and even legendary in the tales of some bards a tavern and brothel if offered many services to the wayward or naive adventurer. It was a place of gossip and dealings and a favorite of many of the districts natives, it was here that many tales of adventure begun and ended for many of the souls of the city of sin. The building itself was slightly unusual being of different style to others, it was a three story inn with double slanted triangular slated roves. The structure was built of sturdy stone and foreign timber black soot and smoke permanently poured out of its impressive chimney, all about the building was lit  by glowing lanterns shedding there light upon the windows, doors and signs of the tavern.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Perfect Princess</strong><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i55.tinypic.com/260v7l4.jpg)</div>The perfect princess as the tavern was called was somewhat of a treat to the senses in its local, not that it was not without its own unwholesomeness but it was far less invasive and there where many pleasantries to be found within. The usual smells of sweat and other personal orders wafted about the place but where usually kept at bay by the pungent aroma of hops and malted barely, alcohol and spirits.  Quite how the place got it's name nobody really seamed to know for sure, although there where many theories and rumors.  The most common and widely believed however was that the name was connected to it's owner a supposed Urkhadi (half-orc) woman whom many refer to only as princess, nobody is really clear why and she certainly does not seam perfect or of high blood.<br/><br/>Perhaps the biggest pull to the tavern for some was it's unique approach to the problem of the desert heats, tiny ethereal drake like phantasms regularly fluttered through the the taverns great hall creating a cool breeze and chilled beverages. Occasionally a phantasmal servant may be seen serving or attending to chores that must be kept in the taverns hall,  these where the sights that many came to see alone although they where not all that made the place popular.  It was decorated and outfitted like many other taverns the great hall was fitted with one bar from which one could be served and many tables and chairs where patrons could relax or wait for the serving wenches, a great stone fireplace was permanently ablaze and above it  stood the taverns great trophy skull belonging supposedly to a Tauron which "Princess" had supposedly defeated single handed in her youth.<br/><br/>Upstairs, in the back rooms and basements other services and deeds where to be had the tavern had a particular reputation for its services as a brothel, although many disliked dealing with the owner of the establishment as she was not a woman to take kindly to insults or slander. And as good as some of her services maybe, there was very few sane individuals who wished the chance that she might decide to take up the job herself even if she did offer it for free.  Many souls had been tormented by there nights in the Perfect Princess, she did promise a night to remember but it was rarely the perfection that was sought after not when she became involved herself.<br/><br/><hr/><div align="center"><strong>System/OOC</strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">If anyone wishes to make use of any skills, knowledges or has any questions etc please ask me in the relevant thread or via pm.</div></div>
