The Theatre of Dancing Flames

by Kalisara

This theatre serves as both a venue for performances by the top artists of Great Forks, and as a temple to several gods of dance and drama. Inside, the floors are of polished ebony and the walls figured in ivory and gold; heavy drapes in shades of wine and flame curtain off stages and display alcoves not presently in use. The building is windowless, but all public rooms are lit by torches that float in mid-air and burn with flames of Essence; they may be commanded by those attuned to the Manse to move, to burn brighter or dimmer or to change hue. The theatre is run, day to day, by the three god-blooded sons of the Goddess of Plays, who will arrange for proper lighting for those unable to control the flames themselves. A small central room, almost impossible to find behind draping and the labyrinthine architecture of the building, holds a small shrine upon which is a bronze figure of a woman, masked and seductively draped; her beckoning hand holds the hearthstone of the Manse, a Blazing Ecstatic Dancer Gem\\ (HearthStones/IkselamFire)
