Over the river and through the dark woods, over wooden footbridges and along trails paved with silvery stones, you will find Club Babylon. It lies just outside the city limits, an ancient Gothic monastery - or at least, so it once was. From the outside, there is still a look of innocence to the stone building tucked among lush hills. When you get closer, you hear the music. From right outside, you can see the new patterns in the stained glass windows, twisting forms like wraith lovers in the smoked glass.

There is different music on different nights, but the main club - a converted chapel which is now a vaulted dance hall - usually plays Gothic industrial music. In the smaller room reserved for the shows of professional dancers, anything from folk fiddling to tribal drums may accompany performers. Each dancer has their own theme, to match their own rhythm. From over the hills on this opening night comes a dark melody, the bass notes carried on the wind for miles. The clock is stopped at five minutes to midnight; inside Babylon, sunlight never comes, and time stands still.

Opening night is by invitation only. Normally there would be a fee for entrance, but for this special party a dark red invitation with gold letters is all you need to get inside. Once you step through the doors the entrance area will likely steal your breath away.

Sculptures, paintings, and gilded edges adorn the entrance way, like the front hall of a palace. From the ceiling hangs a chandelier of cut diamonds on golden chains, the elegant balance of the arms keeping the diamonds softly chiming against each other. This chandelier is only the beginning; everything here is of the best.

Welcome to Club Babylon. This is where your tour begins.

Let's go past the dance hall, with its golden lamps and ocean-colored silk sashes - the twinkling lights of green and blue and gold make the dancers look like immortals or mermaids, those who aren't already. The floor is of a fine Chinese wood that smells slightly like amber, or certain flowers, when tread upon. The bar is of fine Asian rosewood, of the kind called Hong Mu, inlaid with ivory. (Let us not worry for the elephants; it is mammoth ivory, taken from a time when they were quite common.)

Professional dancers have been employed for opening night; they dangle from silk ropes like acrobats, dance in golden cages which rise and lower on chains. Both men and women, exotic and bizarre, swoop and dive on trapezes high above the dance floor.

(A half demon dancer by the name of Skye. Known for her dances on the ceiling.)

A short passage will take interested patrons into the area of the exotic dancers. A stage that is graced by some of Rhy'din's top performers, surrounded by couches of comfortable red velvet. Some of the dancers like to come down and mingle with their patrons; others stay on the stage like untouchable goddesses. There are many other erotic dance "parlors" in Rhy'din, but none with artists of this calibre - or so we'd like to think.

(One of the courtesan rooms.)

Through a different door, you will find the pleasure den of Madam Lakshmi. (Don't worry about getting lost in the Club; the servers, in their distinctive uniform of black-and-white underwear and tall boots, will be glad to assist you in finding your way.) The pleasure den lets no sound in or out, and only the sharpest cries can be heard through the thick walls of the private rooms. Sweet smoke fills the air, but is not stifling; it all rises to vents in the ceiling.

Madam Lakshmi, the resident Priestess of Joy, will help escort you to your pleasures of choice. She is not only the Mistress of Courtesans, but keeper of the key to the Den's chest of drugs. Whatever your tastes, you can probably find a way to accommodate them here. The Courtesans of the Babylon Den come in all colors, more than two genders, and cater to exotic tastes. For those uninterested in pleasures of the flesh, the same comfortable rooms can be used for private drug ingestion - though you will usually find lively company in the main room, where unoccupied courtesans and good storytellers tend to gather.

Opium is a specialty here, shipped from exclusive plantations in Ancient China. If you want a change from the Den's many pipes and hookahs, try the homemade pastries - dried cherries, almonds, chopped nuts, and opium, made according to a formerly-lost Asian recipe. You will also find weed of the highest quality (a popular indulgence in many dimensions) as well as fine hashish. Locked in the chest are pills of pure MDMA (a drug, commonly known as Ecstasy, which delivers sensory bliss to most sentients.)

We also stock some of the most exotic drugs in the multiverse: pixie dust (an "upper" shaken from the wings of young pixies), magic mushrooms (from properly magical dimensions - some can make you larger or smaller, so watch which you take), and the purest Soma from the Sphere of the Lotus-Eaters. For those who wish to mix their pleasures, mild alcohol, strong coffee, and a variety of aphrodisiacs are readily available. Madam or one of the ladies in her charge can direct you in proper usage of any of these, and will be available if you become distressed. Perhaps if you are interested in having a more reality bending experience, you can try the Madam?s ?special? hallucinogenic tea.

Should your pleasure also include pain the Madam will likely send you to the Chamber of Atonement. Tucked in another quiet corner - quiet by design - is a plain wooden door with a crucifix hanging next to it. A woman in a jet-blue corset is currently tied to it with cloth sashes, a look of bliss on her face. When she gets off it will be free for another martyr.

The ceiling here is vaulted and there are more of the stained glass windows, these set into an interior wall. The shapes of lovers, this time real, can be seen dimly through the glass. Exhibitionism is only one of the fetishes which can be indulged in this place. Once you step through the door you will find yourself in the dungeon.

This waiting area is where you will be greeted by Mistress Blank, dressed in her token red leather. She has an evil smile and looks at you with hungry eyes - old, young, male, female - there is no knowing her tastes. This is her domain so you'd best be very nice and treat her with respect. Tell her what it is you are looking for ? male, female, dominant, submissive, immortal ? and she will see that your dark desires are fulfilled.

The Penitent Room is one of our private bondage fantasy rooms. About any fantasy you can come up with, we can probably accommodate. But there are many luxurious rooms to choose from.

This is one of the private rooms in Madam Lakshmi?s pleasure den. This particular room belongs to our star courtesan, Devi Syadasti, whose skills are legendary on more than one world. Each courtesan decorates their private room according to their taste.

Guests may wish to make use of one of our luxury suites for a truly memorable private night. Each suite has a bed, hot tub, a parlor with an in-room bar, and a chaise-lounge. In the wardrobe you will find a selection of toys and costumes for your amusement. Our friendly room service staff can be rung at any hour to see to your needs.

You might want to check out the sky from our rooftop pool. Three stories up, and lit only by flickering candlelight. Here you can relax with your partner of choice, while drinking an exquisite concoction from the poolside bar. Or maybe you can make some new friends here tonight under the stars?

Continuing on our tour we must now go outside. In the open-air cloister of the monastery, you will find a variety of gardens, with gazebos and hidden nooks down every delightful little path. By the night's moonlight and the flickering glow of candle lanterns, it makes for a romantic walk.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/ClubBabylon/pagoda.jpg

This pagoda is a popular spot, and the 12-person hot tub sunk inside it is rarely empty. If you wish for more privacy, you might try exploring in the Hedge Maze, or finding your own cozy nook in the greenery. If you stay on the main path, however, through the old gates which are never closed, you will soon come to another structure of interest: the Arena.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/ClubBabylon/arena.jpg

This white-and-gold temple of combat was built when the monastery was redesigned. It exists for the love of battle and the entertainment of the masses, with combatants who enjoy violence displaying their skill for those who like to watch it. The house rule is that any fight must be fair; a sentient lion awaits to take on any mortal who will take him on bare-handed, or with a dagger made of a single lion tooth.

For opening night there's something quite special: the "Battle of the Blonds". Calico Bonny (notorious society lunatic of the Bonny Family), is set to take on Trixie McAllister of the Scathachians (billed as "the most bad *** blond ever".) The turnout is teeming, and various smiling attendants move among the ranks of the Coliseum-style seating, taking bets. Trixie is favored to win, but Cally is a new combatant and could surprise everyone. Why don't you take a seat for awhile and see this brutality through to the finish?

As you approach the club the first thing that you will notice is a large moat that surrounds the entire complex, the moat is filled with a silver liquid that moves strangely, with study you will see that it is filled with liquid mercury that swirls endlessly within the confines of the moats edges, making the club an island amidst and ever moving liquid, it is rumored that there is some strange creature that lives under the mercury, but none have seen it as of yet.

Across this moat there stands a magnificent bridge made of what seems to be dry ice, though it has been changed magically so that it will never melt, but continuously gives off a fog that fills the grounds eerily beyond.
Along the inside edge of the moat a magical dome rises to completely encase the grounds adding protection as well as filtering the light that enters through, The light turns red as it enters; all other colors are filtered out of it, the grounds are bathed in red light that reflects off of the mist that is constantly flowing in from the bridge.

From here you follow the walkway in towards the doors of the main building, on either side lining the walkway, spaced about ten feet apart stand large metal cats, some of silver and some of gold alternating as they go, these creatures are made so lifelike that you feel that you could hold a conversation with them and tap into the wisdom that shines through their ever watchful eyes.

On entering the building you find yourself in a beautifully decorated entrance hall, with servants waiting to take your coat to the coat rooms that have been hidden along each side of the hallway.

You pass through the entrance hall and into a large dance hall; in the back of the room there stands a stage ready for performances. In the center of this dance hall the stands a huge fountain in the shape of an ale glass, with that amber liquid pouring constantly from it, surrounding this statue is a pool with the outside edge lined with ale glasses ready for guests to collect their drinks from the fountain.
