The Hold
The city jail, The Hold is a high-quality jail that is said to have the second best security next to the jail in the capital. You won’t find any super villains here, but this place is perfect for holding captured crime lords and citizens who, while highly magical, aren’t powerful enough to warrant a visit to the jail in Eleutharia. The warden prides himself on having “never lost a single convict”, and the walls are well-guarded by competent and impossible to bribe guards… Though it’s said they can’t be bribed for fear of what the warden would do if he found out. The warden is a man who simply calls himself the “Chain Holder” and refuses to give his real name, even on government documents.
The Golden Antler
The Golden Antler is a high quality tavern located in the city of Timberholde. It is so-named for the famous golden antler that hangs on the mantle above the fireplace. The owner, Owen Seventrees, claims to have hunted a golden deer in the southern forest years ago but been so taken aback with it’s beauty he couldn’t bring himself to kill it when he finally caught it. In exchange for its freedom, the deer gifted him his left antler. It’s not known if this story is true or nothing more than the tall tale of an old hunter.
Medicine Maiden
Tucked away in the large city of Timberholde lies a beautiful cottage owned by the only prestigious Medicine Maiden. No one really knows her name, but many have experienced and shared their stories of visiting her. From hexes to cruses to even the flu, one can kind relief. Her prices are steep, but the treatment is worth it.
One Story
One Story is just that. One story of a library. Being placed in such a massive city as Timberholde, it does seem a tad out of place. Do not let its size fool you. One Story is a great library and book store. The most popular one Timberholde has to offer. There are many others, but none quite as elegant as this. The owner, Sharon, makes sure every shelf is always stocked. As a matter of fact, she loves books so much that she has an entire cellar in the building dedicated to reprints and extras just in case one goes missing.
Master Blaster
The name says it all. A Master gunsmith, who refuses to give his name, runs this small shop in Timberholde. His guns are said to be the best in all the land. Though his competitor in Dry Gulch can imbue his weapons, this mysterious man can do even a little more than that...
Whispering Ether
Got an itch that you just can't seem to scratch? Drop into Whispering Ether. We have potions, smokeables, lotions and more! Take a look at our menu below. If you can imagine it, we can make it a possibility. Join us in the lounge to just relax and forgot who you are. You will be safe here....well, not your money. The though shop is not singularly owned, the main mixer would be Idel. He is the most talented, and none of the rest blame him for having such a big head about it.

H&H
A bakery located in Timberholde, run by a pair of brothers named Hans and Hansel. Big and strong, these men put pride and muscle into everything they bake, specializing in baked goods native to their fatherland of Skulandia. They also are perfectly willing to learn how to bake things from other people’s home countries as well, for they believe that nothing is better than unity and diversity when it comes to foodstuffs. ...What? You’re saying Hansel is a girl’s name? Well, Hansel believes it’s just as valid for him as a woman!
Fowl Play
Fowl Play is a butcher’s shop run by a man named Fen, who really enjoys a good pheasant. He catches a lot of what he sells himself, in fact, and you’ll find no better place to get a slice of turkey or chicken than here. You’ll even find the meat of more exotic birds, though when it comes to the other meats the produce is disappointingly run of the mill.
In Hot Water
A simple teashop that sells simple but high quality teas, which are mainly made and mixed by the owners themselves, a pair of twins named Lisa and Lisandra. Lisa is known for being quiet and patient, while Lisandra is known for her temper and lack of patience. The two work well together, though, despite how at odds their personalities are.
Illuminated Garden
The Illuminated Garden is the name for the community garden in Timberholde. It is one of the biggest and most expansive gardens in the whole of Simul, guarded well by the people who tend to it and known for harboring many exotic plants, from lands even outside of the island continent. At night it is lit not by lamps but by the plants themselves, many of which glow and twist into beautiful shapes under dark. It is best one has a guide when they enter this place, for it is so large that it is near a maze. It is owned by an elven woman named Taliesha Min’hald, who is said to be the last survivor of an elven coven from another land. She loves her garden dearly and will not tolerate any threats to it.
The Tightest Corset
A brothel located in Timberholde, the Tight Corset is run by a woman named Mademoiselle Zalenna. It is rumored that she is sisters with the madame of Fingers and Fiddles, but she vehemently denies these claims, finding them slanderous. Her brothel has an upstanding reputation and is known for the quality of its whores. It may be a little expensive, but you’re sure to have a good time.
The Drunken Lion
Nestled comfortably in the heart of Timberholde at the heart of Simul, the Drunken Lion is one of the city's largest inns. As well as having almost-nightly entertainment and a multitude of rooms upstairs, it's the only tavern in Simul that serves Lion's Mane Liqueur, a bittersweet blend of distilled liquor and berries from the owner's home land. The owner, Akiba, is a mysterious but friendly fellow who is frequently found tending to the building.
The Center
A hospital with an odd name which provides low cost treatment for people of every race, gender, and creed. The hospital is notable for the fact that it is staffed mainly by vampires. They’ll even take blood instead of money if you still can’t afford to pay, and the hospital is known for making regular donations of excess profits to local orphanages and the poor. The owner is named Vlad the Impaler… A holdover from his time as a war general in his homeland. Nothing to be concerned about.
Heavy Metals
One of the biggest blacksmith shops in all of Simul would have to be Heavy Metals. The shop was built into a massive home that is shared by ten smiths. Walking in, you will be greeted with the smell of a hard working man....well...ten of them. Though the smell is unpleasant, it is worth it. Each one has their own way of making weapons. Some with minor element qualities to make them lighter or swing a big fast. Some verging on the edge of unbreakable. Order from whoever you wish. You won't be disappointed! Just come in and talk to Reece and he will grab you the best smith for the job!
