Within the south hills a set of natural heated springs flow from the blessings of the earth, guided by a single mason's hand they were brought into a beautiful set of baths upon which the people of sunberth might enjoy.

The builder, Max then set up a small bathhouse in the southern hills and runs it with his wife. Bathers are warned, the common spring is just that- common, as in communally open to anyone who visits. The three private springs are each 'themed'. The Bathhouse is connected to a small tavern room setup for intimate, yet plain affairs for parties and otherwise. But the true landmark of the bathhouse which draws the gazes of children and adults alike is one of the cooled freshwater springs being made into a private fenced home for turtles.

The turtle's are very friendly towards all, and unnaturally kind towards children. Visitors with children, or from the orphanage, often bring food for them to be fed. As the old couples pets they tend to be given wide berth by those with ill intentions...

Name: Max
Race: Human
DoB: 62
PoB: Sunberth
Title: The Mediator
Skills: Longword 76, Shield 54, Heavy Crossbow 34,Bodybuilding 60, Stealth 48; Riding: 30, Medicine 26. Masonry 40.

Max is an old man with a past filled with conflict. A former Syliran Knight he retains his status in their society discretely, using the bathhouse as a place of shelter for any knight which comes to sunberth, though cautions them to change into a better disguise if they wish to enter sunberth proper. He mans the Bathhouse with his wife Natlana, a retired mage knight of the order. They have two children who were returned to Syliras to train for the knighthood long ago. He retired at the rank of a stewart knight.

They remain close lipped about their past to anyone, and for the past thirty years have simply been 'the nice old couple of the springs.' No one really messes with Max or Natlana though, they have been known to lay down the law on their property. They have several extra rooms available for travelers to stay in.
 
Natlana

Name: Natlana
Race: Human
DoB: 63
PoB: Sunberth
Title: The Hostess
Skills: Longword 56, Reimancy: 76 *Water,Air, Fire*, Projection 51, Auristics 51, Shielding 51, Meditation 51, Glyphing 38, Malediction 26; Riding (horse) 30, Cooking 51, Tea-Making 32. Negotiation 30, Seduction 20, Rhetoric 18

Natlana is a charming old woman, far removed from the normal haughty manner of many syliran knights. She owns the bathhouse with her husband and watches Sunberth society discretely. She is the one who usually tends to the visitors, using the bathhouse as a place of shelter for any knight which comes to sunberth, though cautions them to change into a better disguise if they wish to enter sunberth proper. As a retired warrior mage of the order she stands firm guard over herself and her husband , ever cautious and wary of those who stay there though extraordinarily polite. She retired at the rank of a stewart knight.

Rumors say that only once has she ever had to burn a party of bathers for being too 'disruptive.' But these rumors of her abilities with fire pale in comparison to the fact a couple of older warrior mages, namely Equuleus once called her the "Goddess of Ash."
