Overview

The Venue

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

Employees

Hostess/Security

Sela Kelajira

Darkling Witch

Sela is a sweet, soft spoken Au'Ra with a sharp tongue and mind. She might have a passion for anything and everything arcane, but the darker arts are where her heart truly lies. She's a skilled hostess and a dab hand behind the var. Knowledgeable in drink slinging but do take care. If you order something off the secret menu, order at your own peril. Sela's penchant for sowing chaos might see you getting something... unexpected.Carrd

Hostess/Bartender

Ainkel Byterr

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.

Bartender

Viola Innamorati

Trashy bartender

Quiet about herself, otherwise lively and cheerful, Viola is an average Lominsan goth girl in her mid '20s. Dreading the day she'll turn 30 like the End of Days, she live life accordingly to it's fullest making the most of each day and having as much fun as she can. She's bold, raw and unfiltered but also cute and wholesome in her own unhinged way.

Bartender

Hanon Obesake

Cyan Catte

[WIP]

Hostess/'Herbologist'

Elha Naarin

[Fat Catte Tats]

[WIP]

Security

Ahmer'tat

Man of Few Words

History of war is inscribed into his body: scars numerous; prosthetic mounted on a shoulder more burn than skin; a wheeze in his breath as if his lungs live in smoke. Lingering mostly on the outer walls, watching how people live in peaceful times. Though less a hermit and more a wallflower, Amher’tat is an unusually soft individual who excels most in violence. He speaks with paper, tomestone, or sign from many locals. Or he’ll whisper over his knife vocal chords in a coal covered throat. A speciality he brings to the Burden is his homemade vodka, which most will advise is not safe to drink. But just because he will smile, laugh, and participate in the comradery, does not make him any less dangerous. (You also pronounced his name wrong. Everyone does.)

Medic

Alma Cre'dendar

Girlfriend Archon

Raised on two lands: academia of Sharlayan, and docks of Western La Noscea, this well educated arcanist specializes in field medicine arcanima. Her smile shimmers like the crystals of Nym, her laugh a sermon to Menphina, and her mind overflowing from Thalik’s waters. (If you’re not careful, her thesis may overflow until you’re trapped hearing a lecture on arcane and math. So much math.) It’s common to see her with one of her aetheric partners: Monarch the sassy fairy, Chrysocolla the playful carbuncle, or Ajora the… other carbuncle. A bond had formed between her and the purple mistress of the Burden, easily seen by the curl of her tail around her Archon lover’s. Though a scholar, the xalea takes no shite from the arrogant, and even less from those who refuse to sit their arses down in med bay.

Medic

Zombria Lynnora

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

Drink Connoisseur

Grim Syngeti

Blade Behind The Menu

Freelancing as a Sellsword has provided this Sea Wolf a breadth of experiences and tastes. Towering, tattooed, and always sporting shaded specs, his charming demeanor might catch you off guard. While he's no longer behind the bar, he is the brains behind the menu. Play your cards right: 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
