Nahara and Imarel

Mostly all civilized places in Imarel will view any Nahara with awe and respect. Some among more suspicious groups will look on them as dangerous and meddlesome though they rarely involve themselves in politics in any way. Their Order is wealthy and extremely influential and should harm or insult come to one of their women as has happened rarely in the past, the Order can and will bring ruin and destruction to the offender. While a house of ladies of pleasure may not sound dangerous, they are known and respected in many places and their clients often take personal offense to affronts to the Order…and their clients include Theocrats, lords, and kings.

The Order is not easily affronted, but none should confuse beauty for weakness. Nearly all chapter houses are protected by their local governments because of their neutral affiliation. Should a person or party decide to attack or damage an Order, Nahara are then free to reveal whatever secrets they may have on said individuals or party.

The Order has no enemies normally. Because of their carefully maintained autonomy from politics except in cases where it is necessary to protect their women, and their strictly enforced confidentiality (which any official status companion would suffer pain, mutilation, and death to protect) they are viewed as a neutral party that values art and pleasure over any baser motivation.

The local Chapter House in Sundown is located in the Garden District and is called the Court of the Evenfall. The name of any Chapter House of the Order refer to the city and the appropriate time of day for ‘courting'. In this case, Sundown and of course, the evening. This Chapter House is run by Baroness Alise Corelliandra es An'Tiel of Anthalas.
