Burden’s Solace is a project that has been in the making a long time. From the spark of an idea to final fruition, a new era is born. Located in Ishgard, the outside fits the general aesthetic of the snowy city. Save a few imported Eastern Wisteria, the Estate looks more like a home than a venue. Past the heavy wooden doors opens a luxurious entrance boasting of imported Hingan wood, flora, and architectural designs while still paying homage to the reddish wood and stone that Ishgard’s interiors are known for. The first floor possesses a large seating area, a welcome desk, and access to private rooms.Further inside and down a set of stairs open the real vista of the building. A sprawling seating area with tables, booths, and stools. A fully equipped and stocked bar ready to serve all your needs to satisfy your beverage needs. At the far end of the basement level is a large, raised area. Set against an aetheric waterfall feature and lush greenery the stage is multipurpose. Whether it be to offer a place for a grand performance, a solo gig, or even sanctioned matches, the stage is the perfect place for entertainment. On the nights the venue hosts fight matches, the venue does offer a medbay for any injuries that participants may sustain.Find yourself a seat, converse amongst your friends. Quench your thirst with imported liquors and spirits. Test your might against an opponent or show off musical talent. Whatever your desire, Burden’s Solace is the perfect place to unwind and relax. Be you Noble, Adventurer, or perhaps the type to keep darker company. All are welcome in this neutral haven for the morally gray.
While you talk of secrets and burdens, do bear in mind…The walls are listening.Lightless Synchshell

The Lunar Dragon

Archon, Scholar, Researcher, Tailor. Mizuki’s resume is rather impressive, and now - venue and organization owner can be added. The stunning Half-Xaela can often be found schmoozing with patrons, slinging drinks, or patching up the fighters after their matches. She possesses a charismatic and alluring personality, utilizing all her talents to entice others to open closed gates. After all, there is one thing on this star that the woman craves above all else.Knowledge.
The Mysterious One

The mysterious an enigmatic individual for single-handedly helping fun the contracts and licenses needed for Mizuki to operate within Ishgard's walls. Not much is known about them, who they are or what they do. But one thing is certain, they remain an integral part of not just the venue's background operations, but Mizuki's life in general.
The Cunning Bunny
A scholar by trade and a manager by Mizuki’s mercy, Larian is a man of encyclopedic knowledge and remarkably poor survival instincts. Now tasked with managing the venue's liquid assets, Larian applies the same well-intentioned determination that makes The Bookmark a beloved disaster. Social, earnest, and perpetually one clever idea away from disaster, he can often be found chatting up patrons, mixing drinks, and wondering how things became this complicated.
The Corvine warden
Proctoress of the evening, Lady Crowe is a presence more than a host. She does not linger where she is not needed, nor speak without reason. Feathers mark her silhouette; intent shapes her posture. Known less for warmth than for order, she ensures the night unfolds as intended, boundaries are understood, and consequences are never mistaken. Whether seated in quiet observation or moving with unhurried confidence, she serves as sentinel and arbiter, someone always paying attention.
The Dispatcher
Towering even by Xaelic standards, he cuts an unmistakable figure. Zyn lives for a good time, and treats every room like a stage, flashing easy smiles and doling out shameless charm. Immaculately dressed and unapologetically flirty, he thrives on attention and gives it back tenfold to whoever's bold enough to meet his gaze. The charming Xaela can be found with a watchful eye on patrons and staff alike. Play your cards right and he might just have some juicy information to share.

Blade Behind The Bar

Freelancing as a Sellsword has provided this Sea Wolf a breadth of experiences and tastes. Towering, tattooed, and always sporting shaded specs, his charming barside demeanor might catch you off guard. Swiftly shaking or stirring any called drink of your choice, if you’d find yourself feeling more adventurous you’re in luck: You may get the chance to taste something... special. Ask about Grim’s secret menu. Take solace in the fact that him “cutting you off” would mean something entirely different beyond these doors.Carrd
Moonlight Mender

Zombria is a warm hug given form, a radiant Sun Cat bursting with enthusiasm and affection for the world. She talks with her hands, squeaks when excited, and drifts through daydreams with creative, scatterbrained charm. Despite deep loss and hardship, she remains hopeful and bright, hiding quiet sadness behind smiles. Gentle yet resilient, she is a powerful Astrologian who aids others, guided by stars, kindness, and a belief in tomorrows for everyone she meets.Carrd
Charismatic Charm

Half-Elezen, Half-Viera, complete nuisance. A flirty bard with a penchant for mischief, Valoren is starting to find his conscience growing on him like mold, much to his irritation. A socialite with the Charisma to pull anyone into a delightful conversation, the man can be found behind the bar slinging drinks and schmoozing the patrons. Between good looks and a quick wit - everyone is surely to find their time spent with the man in conversation to be memorable.
Helpful Huntress

This cheerful, self-proclaimed "aggressively-friend-shaped" Sunseeker is ever ready to strike up a conversation. Despite her playful demeanor, she has an interest in information of all sorts, she herself boasting a wealth of knowledge on all things relating to alchemy, botany, conjury, and hunting. She is always glad to trade knowledge for knowledge.
Faithkeeper

Dei'ra is a trusted rival to Mizuki, one who has no qualms speaking his mind and pointing out the flaws (especially when it comes to how she dresses). His role at Burden's Solace is to ensure that the wards stand strong regardless of who graces the ring. The design and methods are kept closely guarded, only those that need to know? Know. However rest assured that once the fighters enter the ring, nothing can get in and nothing can get out.Carrd
