The city of Meduli has long been known as a place of many delights, and though the seaside harbor town has yet to fully recover from the travesties of The Irruption, it is still known to this day for its bordellos and courtesans.
Whether you are a new face to Meduli or are quite familiar with what the city has to offer, if you are seeking companionship for the night then there are several establishments that may be worthy of your attention.
My first word of advice, before I begin my list, is to avoid the docks outright. I have known several who have visited the courtesans there only to walk away with an itch or a rash.
As one would expect, among the courtesans of Meduli you will find a large majority Tindremenes, with only a small amount of Sarducaans and Kallards. Others are especially rare to find.

Domina Orrine's Domus Voluptas
The Domus Voluptas exists as a rather refined institution, directly sanctioned by the Provinces. She offers the services of both female and male courtesans and masterfully avoids the “themes” of some other bordellos that some find distasteful, while still establishing a distinct, dark atmosphere that smells rich with spices. As an officially sanctioned bordello, you need not worry about diseases or unwanted pregnancies.
The courtesans here are well-educated in the arts, each having an instrument he or she plays. Among my favorites were Tassa and Lander, who will sing and play the lute together when both are available. Their coordination and collaboration are masterful in all of their services.

Anthos Apothymion
The Anthos Apothymion, sometimes simply referred to as “the Anthos” is a bordello with chiefly female courtesans, with a fitting theme of flowers. The women here each take on the name of a flower and said flower can often be found in their hair or pinned to their clothing.
The atmosphere inside is bright, with many windows lining its walls that let in ample sunlight.
Of my favorite practices of the Anthos, it is the ritual of the courtesans giving the patrons of the bordello a flower as they leave that I find the most charming. When I return to my lodging, I need only reach over to my bedside table and inhale deeply to be reminded of the comforting, perfumed embraces of Hyacinth, Rosa, or Paeonia.
