Fest Quintan

X

Filled with inns, taverns, festhalls and theaters, the Fest Quintan is the undisputed "place to be" for the enjoyment of life's pleasures. The eladrin-style squares of the quintan are surrounded by important and palatial theaters, with a disproportionate number of inns scattered among them. The reason for this is simple: most of the finest shows don't begin until after Gatefall, meaning that those who are there to take in the entertainment are also beholden to stay for the night. The inns in this district are usually intended more for over-nighting, and because they compete with one another for noble coin, strive to outdo one another in sumptuous accommodations. Those who cannot afford such over-night stays tend to attend those shows earlier in the day, dubbed the "workman's curtain".

The Theaters

The theaters of the Fest Quintan are elaborate, almost impossible affairs. Massive keep-sized constructions, filled with stages, vast rows and boxes of seating, palatial lobbies and labyrinthine backstages, the theaters do not themselves put on shows. Instead, each season they audition the players' companies latest offerings, allowing them to construct shows that stun and astound.

Players' Companies

Most of the theater and cavalcade troupes of the Fest Quintan do not have their own company halls. The majority meet in parks, basements and any other space they can get together in. A few have modest spaces here in the Fest Quintain or in other districts, but the most successful maintain full offices, complete with workspace for training, business offices, space for playwrites to work and even accommodations for those important employees (other than the big stars, of course, who maintain their own dwelling spaces).

Temples & Monasteries

• The Veiled Palace (FX): Temple to Iritsa A temple-brothel, the Veiled Palace's hierodules serve those worshippers who come to its incense-clouded halls. Most of its worshippers can be divided into two sorts: those who come to sample the sacraments of the boudoir-shrines of its priestesses and priests, and those brothel workers who come to worship and ask the advice and aid of its clergy.
• The Theodrome (FX): Multidivinity Temple The Theodrome is another of the quintan's theaters, but one with a specialized purpose: the performance of religious passion plays and chorale events. It is willing to hire secular players who are performing known and approved religious theater pieces, but for the most part, its seasons consist of ecclesiastic troupes and chorus groups.
• The Moongardens (FX): Temple to Xanayr An expansive, beautiful temple-gardens, the Moongardens host full moon revels, with hired performers and ample wine, to allow the faithful of Xanayr to pass a night of wild revelry. The rest of the month, it serves those who come seeking its clergy's advice and sacraments.
