Coeurl - Empryeum - W13 P12
Open 24/7
Staffed Wednesdays 7pm-11pm pst
The Burrow is many things - Bar, bistro, art den, lounge, forum, bordello, and boarding house. Situated in a patchwork building at the edge of the Brume, the main areas of the house are open to the public for drinks, art parties, respite, conversation, or companionship. LGBTQIA+ owned and operated, this space is for everyone that knows what respect means.For the adventurous, the wine cellar opens some nights as a small fight club.
The Burrow
Rules
ooc
1. This is an 18+ venue. Adult themes are played out in the RP taking place at this venue, and no inclusion of minors is permitted. For the safety of our patrons and staff, this goes for players and characters alike. Adult Lalafell characters are permitted in the venue, but under no circumstances are they to be included in any content of a lewd or sexual nature.2. Don't be a dick. This seems like it goes without saying, but the Burrow is a space where staff and patrons both have a right to feel safe. If you cannot do your part to maintain that environment, you are not welcome in it.3. This is a consent-based RP space. Unless there are specific events happening that have been mechanized for the purposes of fairness and expediency (fights, card games, etc.) everything that happens in this space is at the discretion of the people it's happening to. While we as players love a juicy bit of IC drama, make sure all players involved are on board with whatever it is you want your character to do to theirs before going forward.4. Flirtatious and suggestive RP is welcome and encouraged. Please keep all ERP to private modes of communication (party, tell, Discord, etc.) - Thank you.5. If there are events that require some degree of mechanization to work (the digital equivalent of rolling dice, generally), they will be announced before beginning. Participation in those events will be considered as players consenting to that game/event's level of introducing an element of random chance into outcomes. If that's not your cup of tea, that's okay! Spectators are generally very welcome, and continue to fall under the rule of negotiated consent.6. Patrons should change their status to RP when inside the venue, and avoid using other status signifiers. Some of them are used to indicate staff and various offered services, and we don't want to cause an incident because someone accidentally propositions another patron instead of the courtesan they assumed they were. Courtesans available for hire will have a green Looking for Party tag and all other staff will have yellow Looking for Meld Materia tags.7. This venue is open for RP 24/7 (unless occupied by a private party of some kind). That being said, even if none of the staff are online or inside the venue, please understand that in the world your characters are experiencing, there are always NPC staff about the place. Disruptive behavior would still get those characters asked to leave by said staff. If you want to have your character(s) get up to some shenanigans at a time when the venue is not staffed by present PCs, please reach out to Lysander Myste to discuss it.8. All companionship services will be negotiated with the courtesan before booking. They may refuse any contract for any reason. They may stop any contract for any reason at any time - No refunds will be granted.9. The kitchen space in the back of the venue is not part of the interior designer's art - It is for the amusement of the staff of the venue. We promised we would note this publicly. Also, if you wander back there without being a member of staff, our Chef will probably harass you in some Nightmare Cat fashion. You enter at your own character's risk. ♡
ic
These rules, while not necessarily posted anywhere, are assumed to have been communicated to PCs who get past the guy at the door, so to speak.
1. Behave yourself. Yes, this is a den of vice and iniquity; it's also a place of comfort and freedom. If you ruin that for other people, you will be shown the door.2. No means no. Always. Full stop. Yes, also for the courtesans. 'Bordello' is not, in fact, the Ishgardian word for pigsty. If that's what you're looking for, kindly turn around and walk out the door you came in and off the nearest parapet. Thank you.3. Morality codes aren't extinct in Ishgard. Some of what we do here skirts the boundaries of the law - if not outright defies it. You want to participate? Great. Outside that door, you keep your mouth shut. We don't hold with snitches ruining a good thing in this neighborhood. Know someone you want to bring? Even better. But make sure you're willing to vouch for them first. The safety of the people who rely on this place is more important than any one person having a wild night.4. The back door leads to the kitchen - It is for staff only. Do Not Enter. Kitchens are not safe places for random drunks or starry eyed artists, we cannot guarantee your safety.5. You break it, you buy it.

Icebreakers
At the bar are three types of ice breakers. All betting is handled by private players and gambling losses are not the responsibility of the Burrow or its staff. These games and prompts are provided for entertainment purposes only.1. A Box of Discussion PromptsPlease ask the Bartender for a random discussion prompt. Topics range from politics to philosophy to religion. Feel free to discuss, debate, or tell tales with your companions on this topic as long as you desire. A new prompt can be requested whenever the previous topic runs dry.
2. Decks of Cards and Sets of Dice
Please form parties for card games and use /dice party for mechanics.Five Card Draw:
Objective: Have the best hand in play.
Mechanics: Bet if betting. Then each player 'draws' five cards using /dice party 14 five times- Suits are not used. Once everyone has rolled five times, compare hands in party chat by typing out your results in order like the example hands below. Matching hands are compared by high card. True ties split the pot if betting.
Hands In Order (example)
^ High card (14 high)
One pair (5, 5, 10, 1, 2)
Two pair (5, 5, 11, 11, 2, 3)
Three-of-a-kind (3, 3, 3, 12, 9)
Straight (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Full house (13, 13, 4, 4, 4)
Four-of-a-kind (1, 1, 1, 1, 14)^----Blackjack:
Objective: Get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
Mechanics: Bet if betting. Each player uses /dice party 10 twice. (1 is Ace and may be a value of 1 or 11) Add the totals together, this is your starting hand. Each player may 'hit' using /dice party 10 again as many times as they like.
When all players are satisfied with their hands (or all but one has gone over 21), compare scores. Closest to 21 wins. An opening hand of 10, 1 wins automatically. Ties split the pot if betting.----Lucky Day Dice
This dice game is played against the house. Please ask a host or bartender for availability. All rolls are handled in /random 6
Objective: Roll 7 or 12.
Mechanics: Bet if applicable, spectators may place bets on the rolls of others. All bets are handled privately, though the house will wait for a betting period if they are occurring.
Roll /random 6 twice, add the totals. A 7 or 12 is a winning roll, anything else loses.
3. Never Have I EverYes, really. Inform your bartender you wish to run a game and for a nominal fee they will supply drinks to those who lose a round. Please drink responsibly.^Rules: This is a drinking game. Characters take turns making statements about things they have never done (or claim to have not done.) Others who have done the stated action must drink. ^If someone suspects a lie, they may point to the claimant and call them a liar. If they were lying, they must finish their drink and no one else drinks. If they weren't, the accusor must finish their drink.
The Burrow
Lore
First opening its doors in the wake of the Dragonsong War, The Burrow is not the type of establishment someone would expect a Knight of House Fortemps to run.The Burrow is built right at the edge of the Brume - A boarding house made of a patchwork of homes that took severe damage during the attacks of the Dragonsong War. After the series of properties were purchased by Lysander, he set to renovating them, connecting them with old servants stairways, and converting the whole thing into a large boarding house. The boarding house itself is well maintained, but the landlord charges almost nothing in rent. Rooms are available for residents of the Brume and refugees who need a place to go. It's a place of refuge, safety - Where no one need go hungry or cold. His tiny piece of keeping a dream alive that he could not bear to see die.On a more self-indulgent level, the Burrow is a place where those Ishgard might look down upon can find like minded individuals. Artists, philosophers, queer folk, outsiders, the lonely, the sexual - It is a place where thought and discussion is encouraged. Drink is plentiful, hedonism encouraged, art appreciated. It is a place to call home, if only for an evening. Always with a warm fire and a friendly face.With that being true, it is on the shoulders of the rest of the establishment to pay for the Burrow's good works and free thought. Rooms can be rented for temporary private use, drink is reasonably priced. The real gil maker, however, are the courtesans that call the Burrow their place of work. The proprietor himself is one such, and though he charges a small house fee on all contracts, he is known for treating the workers with respect and dignity. Not to mention that he runs a tight security ship - Harming one of the workers is a one-way ticket to the blacklist.Recently, the menu has also been expanded as a small bistro, and renovations in the old wine cellar are being made to provide a venue for a small fight club. The fact the proprietor has also gotten engaged likely has something to do with it.Magitek consultation and alchemical services are also available for those who know how to ask.

The Burrow
Lysander
He/Him | Gay | Switch | Carrd
Specialties: Boyfriend experience, hard dom, pet play, body worship, oral, pleasure domming, breeding, leather, bondage (rope), size queen.Hard Limits: Bladeplay (receiving), branding, scat/filth, littles.Other Notes:
- This character is intersex. This is non-negotiable. Respectful questions welcomed.
- The list of specialties is a highlight reel, not a comprehensive list of services offered. If you can dream it, he probably does it.
The Burrow
Milo
He/Him | Bi | Switch (Dom Leaning) | Carrd
Milo's a bit rough around the edges, but he generally means well. If you are hungry, he will make certain you are fed. He lives by three rules: no one goes hungry, hungry people do stupid shit, and don't hit first (but make sure you hit last). He's been trained by Lysander how to be somewhat effectively flirtatious, but he's still liable to stick his whole foot in his mouth at any moment.Milo is primarily the chef at the Burrow, but for those adventurous enough, he also provides courtesan services. However, Milo will only work in tandem with Lysander. Please negotiate with the both of them if interested.Hard Limits: Food play, branding, scat/filth, littles.Other Notes:
- Milo's Eorzean isn't very good. That's not negotiable. If you want no language barrier, bring a character who speaks Miqo'te huntspeak, or sign language.
- He's not romantic. At all. He's more than a little rough around the edges, grumpy veering towards hostile. He's unlikely to become sweet for pretty much anyone other than people who are heavily involved in his story.
- Biological son of Pike. Also, older than him. ...It's complicated.
The Burrow
Dae
He/Him | Gay | Submissive | Carrd
Specialties: Nurturing, sensual experience, caretaking, service play, worship, shame, pet play, slave play, breeding kink, size queen, bondage, CNC.Hard Limits: Scat/filth, permanent marks or damage, littles, transphobiaOther Notes:
- This character is intersex. I'm happy to answer respectful questions, but that fact will always be true.
- The list above is not comprehensive; so long as it is not on his hard-limits list, it's negotiable.
- I am a legally-blind player and rely on adaptive software that makes noises when keywords appear; please try to include some part of character names in poses so it can pick up that I should be looking for it. Thank you!
The Burrow
Ris'a'an
He/Him | Security | Carrd
Ris'a'an has no problem chatting with those who come through, but he takes his work very seriously. He's been through enough trials that he has no problem gently correcting anyone who steps out of line. His version of gentle, anyway. You may be able to hire the one-eyed bounty hunter for some work outside of the Burrow, provided his services haven't already been obtained by someone else.Additional Notes:
-No escort services offered through the Burrow, however, he does have a soft spot for pretty women
-Initially distrusting of most people, warms up quickly if offered a nice cup of tea
The Burrow
Stix

- Communication is highly encouraged.
The Burrow

She/Her | Lesbian | Switch | Carrd
Specialties: Girlfriend Experience, Soft Dom, Pleasure Dom, Rope Bondage, Primal Play.Hard Limits: Knife Play, Scat/Watersports, RaceplayOther Notes:
- The listed specialties are not all-encompassing. If you have something in mind feel free to ask.
- All scenes are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, but some kinks require more specific negotiation both IC and OOC. These include but are not limited to: CNC, DDLG/littles.
- This character is genderfluid to varying degrees of IC presentation. This is always going to be true. She does use Fantasia to change her sex characteristics but does not generally do so by request.
- Relatedly, I do not like the term futa/futanari being applied to me. Use it wherever else you like, just not in our scenes, please.
The Burrow
Cavernon
He/Him | Asexual-Homoromantic | Switch | Carrd
Specialties: Bottom leaning switch, oral, size difference, praise and name calling, cuddling, rougher intimacy (choking, biting, scratching)Hard Limits: Scat/Waterworks, Master/SlaveOther Notes:

- Player has a puppy, please be patient if I need to step away
- If there was something you wanted to try not listed on specialties you can ask and we can try, I’m usually up to most things.
The Burrow
Pike
He/Him | Carrd tba
Pike is your friendly face behind the bar. He's always quick to pour you a drink or to listen to your woes, if you have them.Other Notes:
- While Pike isn't for sale, you're welcome to try your luck flirting with him. He enjoys it. Immensely.

-She is not limited to the list above, but is usually willing to try something at least once if asked.
-It is hard for her to form romantic relationships, but she is generally very sexually oriented.
The Burrow
Castor
He/Him | Pansexual | Carrd
Castor could easily be described as anti-social. He doesn't go out of his way to be rude but sometimes his interactions can be brief or curt. As a server he is timely but doesn't offer much in the way of conversation. As Security, he is most likely unseen until a problem arises. He softens considerably around Lysander and Milo. He's also a big nerd. He'd love to nerd out about magic, history, or just about any academic topic under the sun.Often he is accompanied by his playful voidsent, a small black cloud with a bright orange eye. Her name is Golem. She's excited to meet you! Whether or not you want to meet her is irrelevant.Notes:
- Does not offer escort services
- His voidsent Golem is more likely to be engaging and "friendly"
- If the little cloud that follows him around disappears + a third eye appears on his forehead? That's no longer Castor. That's Golem.
The Burrow
Golem
She/He/They (All pronouns fine) | Inhabits the body of Castor Lynell
Golem the voidsent is friendly. Very, very friendly. Occasionally she gets to take the driver's seat in the body she and Castor share. Unlike Castor, she's exceedingly social and even flirtatious! She's got very little concept of personal space.She will also without a doubt eat you whole if given means and opportunity. She won't try it in the Burrow, though. Probably.Specialties: Worship, dominance, leather, bondage, praise, Step On Me Evil, Hot Lady
Limits: Bathroom play/filth, Degradation, age play and littlesOther Notes:
- If you seem to be in danger from Golem, it's best to call Milo. She adores him and behaves (somewhat) for his peace of mind
- As voidsent, she's rather territorial with other voidsent. Give her a moment to cool down, or call Milo.
- This body is a Cinderella style simulacrum. She cannot leave the Burrow. (Before or after midnight.
- This character is intersex and magical, details upon request.
The Burrow
Sorrow
He/Him | Bi (male leaning) | Submissive | CARRD (Under construction)
Quiet but not necessarily shy. Sorrow can sometimes come off as cold or flat; this is his base demeanor. He's far more curious than he seems, and is usually sneaking off to go flip through a book. While he may not be a conversation starter, he's a sucker for a little known fact or interesting tidbit about the world, history or science. Other interests include book binding, cooking, and detective work.Sorrow's found himself entangled in private investigations to ongoing crimes in Ishgard, and has been diving into information gathering in as many ways as he can. He's bookable as an escort and a courtesan, but he's unlikely to agree to take the client unless they've got information he can use. Booking Sorrow for these kind of services are directly negotiated through him.Hard Limits: Scat/filth. littles. Permanent damage or marking/branding. Master/slaveEvery service encounter is negotiated on a case by case basis. If there's something very specific the client is looking for, this may require both IC and OOC negotiation.Other Notes:
Sorrow is intersex. Respectful questions are welcome but this is non-negotiable
If you have a mystery that needs solving, Sorrow has an itch to scratch
Sorrow's regards the Burrow owners (Lysander and Milo) as his guardians and is not likely to discuss escort work in their company.
The Burrow
Auswald "Oz" Robineau
He/Him | Bisexual | Technically Doesn't Work Here | Courtesan | Carrd
If you ask him, Oz will deny working at the Burrow. He's just an occasional patron, he'll say, and that the lodgings are great for the prices. Can't complain!The practical truth is that Oz shows up wherever help is needed, and is a travelling merchant to boot. If you're looking for rare artifacts, ancient tomes, or need something translated, Oz is your guy. He's bright, he's cheerful, he's got a million jokes at all times, and he will flirt with absolutely anyone. He seems to get along with everyone, too! ...Except for Lysander.He is tentatively poking his head into as-requested work as a courtesan.Other Notes:
- Oz is half viera (Rava), half elezen (wildwood)! In short, he's tall. Towers-over-most-elezen tall.
- He's got the bunny ears, but no tail. :(
The Burrow

- Not all specialties are included above, feel free to ask about a service not listed here.
The Burrow
Sahji'to
He/Him | Pansexual | Submissive | Carrd
Sahji is quite new to the Burrow, but he's a quick learner and eager to please! He's trained in basic bartending and has been studying up on his mixology - as an alchemist he can do quite a few interesting things in that realm. He can be a tiny bit oblivious, don't be discouraged, he may not have picked up what's being set down. He's friendly and polite, working on getting out of his shell, and happy to talk your ears off about plants, alchemy, or magic!
He's also very easily flustered - try seeing how dark you can make his face, sometime.Specialties: Brattiness, oral, intimacy, service, worship, cuddling, biting, bottoming
Hard Limits: Noncon/dubcon, age play, Permanent bodily harm or death, impregnation; if/when in doubt, don't be afraid to confirm!Other Notes:
- Sahji is a trans man! This is not negotiable. Respectful questions are welcome!
- The list above is not all inclusive, don't be afraid to negotiate if or ooc!
- Please do not touch the scar on his shoulder or any necklace/choker around his neck
- Unfortunately, he won't call you 'Master'. Someone else has that title…
