Carnelian Baths

The Carnelian Baths are a set of magnificent bathhouses situated atop the Hart's Hill in Torrune's High City. Although putatively public like the XXXXXX Baths in the Low City, they are in practice reserved for the use of the nobility, the mercantile class, and the other wealthy denizens of the High City. A low-born commoner attempting to enter is apt to be brusquely turned away by the attendants and guards. The baths serve as a social hub for the city's elites, and the Archon himself is sometimes seen there, although he more commonly makes use of his own private baths in the Blue Pearl Palace. 
The baths are fed by the natural spring atop the Hart's Hill (this spring also supplies the Greenstone Span aqueduct, which runs across the Tirasval from the baths themselves to the adjacent Hill of Okhtar). 
The name of the Carnelian Baths comes from the ornately carved fixtures that adorn the bathhouse chambers. These are made from a distinctively smooth, lustrous, golden-orange or amber-colored variety of chalcedony. Heated springwaters gush from the mouths of snarling lions, spout from peacock-shaped fountains, and fill elaborately scalloped bathing basins, all sculpted from this stone.
