Silken Rack

The Silken Rack was a building situated in the drow city of Menzoberranzan.

Description
It was a prestigious leisure establishment that ignorant folk would mistake for a fine cloth emporium. It had rooms that could be rented, offering bathing pools and others where massages took place. Many considered it to be one of the finest leisure spots in Menzoberranzan, labeling it as a "palace of delight" by members of the noble houses of the city. "“It was, technically, a massage parlor, but only a vulgarian would call it that. Rather, it was a palace of delight, where the most skilled body servants in the Underdark provided what many dark elves considered to be most exquisite of all pleasures.”"

Activities
The establishment worked as a spa and a massage parlor, offering baths, massages with spiced oils and probably other bodily pleasures. Some of the masseurs were seen to be human slaves that were reputed to be very skilled and attractive; but deaf-mute and lacking their tongues. They slaves would display their characteristic meekness and lack of eye contact, although that would not hinder their ability to perform excelently. Clients usually would roam the areas of the building naked.

The local was also used as a meeting point for business, since rooms could be rented and offered some shelter from prying eyes.

Customers
The clientele was mostly comprised of drow elves, both male and female. Drow from noble houses also regarded the Silken Rack as a pleasurable and high end establishment worthy of praise.

Waerva Baenre was an assiduous customer, greatly enjoying the massages, she also used it to meet with Umrae in order to conspire and elevate her position in house Baenre.
