Home of the Konti people, this ivory city is built of native konti stone half in and half out of the sea. Its borders touch the Silverwood, and stretch upwards towards Silver Lake, home of the infamous konti vision water. [Lore]
At first sight Mura’s only and most popular tavern and inn doesn’t look impressing: It is build in the same style as the local temple, with a dome-shaped grand building where tavern rooms and a dozen of sleeping rooms are located, and two low, but broadly built towers always ready to inhabit more powerful or influential customers. However, the front impresses with an artistic chaos of strangely shaped little balcons and colored walls and windows. Harmony is the style's trademark and thus every detail is rounded and smoothly connected with one another.
While the interior of ordinary rooms only consists of a bed, a low table and wardrobe with pretty carvings and paintings and provides a single window to let in enough light, the four tower apartments are vast and more luxurious, providing two different rooms: one for sleeping and one for both eating and socializing, furnished with a low, but massive table and comfortable blankets and cushions covering the stone floor. Apart from the elaborately and colorfully painted walls the heating system is especially remarkable. Bricks have been placed at small chambers under the floor stones and, when magically heated, provide warm and more comfortable floors and rooms during cold days.
If a customer desires to get some food and drink or book a room, they would first enter a small simple chamber, shrug off street dirt and leave their cloaks or jackets at the guarded wardrobe, afterwards move on to the main room and bar of the tavern. A few robust, yet elegant tables are arranged around a round counter, both made of smooth white wood and the plates covered with clean and reflective ivory while the walls are painted with the usual mythological images and tales of Laviku, Avalis and occasionally Rak’keli.
The Pearl Divers is lead and owned by three Konti women, triplets, of which each one is beautiful, unique and serving customers almost perfectly in her own way. Nevertheless the customers will always be greeted and asked for their personal wishes by one of the three after entering. Of course there are a few additional waitresses, cooks, cleaning women and other staff who help keeping the place clean and welcoming and making the stay at Pearl Divers as comfortable as possible.

The most beautiful of the triplets with long sugar white hair and bright sky blue eyes, Acil charms customers with her sweet voice and friendly and open behavior. She is often found sitting at their tables, listening to their stories and entertaining them, although she isn’t as skilled at singing and dancing as her sisters. However, she is the one who secretly leads the whole establishment and takes care of financial and economic matters. Her rational intelligence and mathematical talent make her the most skilled in leading a big business such as the Pearl Divers.

While her hair just reaches her shoulders, her face is a bit rounded and her eyes a clear turquoise. Eceli likes to cook and help out in the kitchen, and she knows that she looks like that. Being the most reclusive and introverted of the triplets, but still relatively friendly and cheerful, she often visits the library and does research about extraordinary ingredients and meals. Since the triplets opened Pearl Divers, she has gathered incredibly detailed knowledge about how to get foreign ingredients and make exotic meals out of them.

Many people mistake her for Acil, since their appearance is almost identical. However, Ciela’s eyes are of the color of fresh grass and her white hair is slightly curled at the edges. While she is the most outgoing and social of the triplets, she has become popular because a lot of rumors exist of her. It is known that she is the only one who has travelled to the mainland for a few years and learned, among other things, the magical discipline of hypnotism from a half-crazy old hag. She likes to enchant and excite the most innocent customers, but the impact on her personality when using her gift is too high to go unnoticed. Her sisters even consider to send her to the Opal Temple for medical treatment, but since they aren’t sure if the healers are able to provide useful help, they just leave things like they are for that moment. However, every season, every day even, Ciela seems to tear apart more and more.
