Belladonna

❛ In this world, the line between life and death is razor-thin, and so is the balance between cure and curse.
Trust is a rare commodity, and in these dangerous streets, survival often depends on knowing which poison to administer. ❜

In the heart of Goblet, beneath the golden sand and worn stone stands a place within the shadows of Ul’dah’s soul. Belladonna, a name whispered with hushed voices, operating with an apothecary for patrons to partake. Few people would suspect the veneer of harmless hospitality blooms a retreat where power and sin are traded like coin.

There’s an air of humble comfort to welcome each patron upon stepping through the doors. The scent of curatives and something more hangs heavy in the air, seats empty and ready for weary bodies to rest upon.

The proprietor offers each guest a cup of tea; a mellow and soothing blend as a welcome. Faint music drifts from an orchestrion lulling visitors into an odd calm. Yet the tea is laced with subtle poison, intended to loosen tongues or silence them altogether.

You’ve stepped into a web, what can you offer for your release? Gil, or shall you give more than what you can bargain for? Walk further, deeper, regale in the opus of sin.

Belladonna’s roots run deep.
