Gamblers from around Sapience come to the Dancing Boar Inn to visit [[Merindia]], the blackjack dealer, and [[Tatalia]], the roulette attendant, to play their gold or lessons for luck. The '''Ram's Horn Bar''' has more than food to offer. [[Shadya]], the bellydancer, will dance for you and more, for the right price. For the more refined Sapients, and some friends of a boy called [[Otis]], the gardens behind the '''Imperium''' provide a nice setting for a romantic picnic. The Imperium itself houses a ballroom for formal occasions and is ready to use at all times thanks to [[Lucia]], the housekeeper. Named for the spirit of the Forest of Light, in which the early settlers of Cyrene began building their home, the '''Theatre Prophasia''' was once host to the infamous [[Raphella]], the diva. Now deceased, it is only her colleagues Maestro [[Lucciano]] and the stage director [[Emelio]] that remain within the grand theatre. The theatre may also be used by adventurers to stage their own productions. Visitors and citizens alike may be visited by [[Balaia]], the snow tigress, or [[Baltas]], a fiery aileushan, two former loyals who were gifted to Cyrene by an Immortal and a Celani, respectively. | Gamblers from around Sapience come to the Dancing Boar Inn to visit [[Merindia]], the blackjack dealer, and [[Tatalia]], the roulette attendant, to play their gold or lessons for luck.
