Once a civic bathhouse, the complex now draws travelers seeking healing, privacy, or forbidden meetings; its enchanted springs react unpredictably to strong emotions.

Hook

Read Aloud

Warm mist drifts through a mosaic hall where empty pools glimmer beneath cracked blue tiles. Beneath the mineral scent, you hear faint splashing from rooms that appear completely dry.

GM Notes

- The baths are neutral ground, but rival visitors may arrive at any time.
- Strong emotions can awaken a water weird or trigger a prophetic echo.
- The hidden stairway may lead to smugglers, ancient ruins, or a sealed water shrine.
