The House of Purple Silks

The House of Purple Silks is a festhall in Sea Ward, Waterdeep.

Standing on the west side of Seawatch Street, just south of its intersection with Diamond Street, this is one of the most famous pleasure palaces of the Sword Coast. For decades, its name has been synonymous with decadent dalliance. Its trademark is the sheer purple silks worn by its ladies.

Inside, it’s a series of warm, carpeted rooms crowded with cushions, bold guests, and bolder staff ladies. Not a place for the bashful. Highly recommended. Rumored to have contraband hidden inside some cushions, and under certain areas of carpet.

Proprietress: The proprietress, Jathaliira Thindrel, is petite, pert, and always bustling about. A guest who insisted on her company at his every visit described her as having “a shrewish temper overlaid by a passionate nature.” She is in her forties, but still energetic and good-looking, and is reputed to be a shrewd investor and very rich.
