+===== Text: =====
+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 [[:Tindremene|Tindremenes]], with only a small amount of [[:Sarducaan|Sarducaans]] and [[:Kallard|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//.
