Posts in The Baths section might be made about events taking place in any of Faethaven's bath houses, but most prominently, the main bath house in Northern Faethaven.
The baths were not created until very late in Faethaven's history, because personal cleanliness was not a problem of the crown... However when parasites such as lice and fleas, some of which were mutated by wild magic and carried disease, became more common, the baths were implemented in an attempt to stamp out the problem.
The baths were made with innovative technology. Using a large furnace in a sub floor, hot air is pumped into a space in the floor. This hot air in turn heats the carefully made tiles of the baths, and they in turn warm the water for bathing. It costs a miniscule fee to use the baths, since their maintenance is expensive.
The main room of the baths is colossal and contains one, giant shallow pool where everyone may wash. It is a public area, containing all the rowdiness, rough housing and noise of any other public area.
