This brothel and tavern in the Red Lantern District of UnderTown is rumored to have been originally founded by vampires, and rumors persist that it remains a haven for their kindred even to this day. While it is by no means a reputable establishment, the Masquerade is widely known as a haven where all the patrons enjoy the same protection as long as they behave. Any sort of criminal, scoundrel, or lowlife can hide here and enjoy some measure of safety to indulge in the establishment’s drink, drugs, or women. There are only three rules to abide by in the Masquerade: do not speak about yourself, do not ask others about themselves, and do not disturb anyone that desires privacy. Dead bodies frequently turn up in the Masquerade, but these are usually due to those that decided to break the rules and start trouble. The Masquerade is rumored to be a front for The Juggler’s Men, but the same could be said for almost every other business in the Red Lantern District. The current manager of The Masquerade is a man by the name of Ahab, an ex-merchant of little notoriety before purchasing the establishment. It is an open secret that Ahab is not the true owner of the place, but those inquiring about the actual ownership tend to disappear quickly.
