The Golden Elephant

## The Golden Elephant Casino

A high-end casino in the upper-class section of Tamalir. It is owned and managed by an Orcish married triad, Morgan, Calis and Caleese.

### Location

The Golden Elephant Casino is located in one of the richer areas of Tamalir. The Casino building was previously the palatial home of one of the district's more notorious residents, a former slave-trader who secretly ruled over a network or vice. He was eventually brought low by a trio of Orcish former Slaves who had hatched a plan to ruin him and reveal his nature to the world.

### Economy

Tamalir is the pre-eminent trade city in Terrinoth, situated as it is at the crux of Terrinoth's two biggest trade routes, The Flametail River and the Thelvan Highway. As a result, many have gained and lost vast fortunes within its walls, and The Golden Elephant provides a venue in which to do so.

### Description

On entry to the main gate of the Golden Elephant, a visitor will move past the life-sized statue that gives the venue its name and up the wide stairway to the main entrance. Beyond this, the traveller will find a number of smaller attractions - eating and drinking areas, wandering entertainers and even a small ornamental garden. Beyond this small buffer between the inner building and outside world are the main rooms. This area takes up the vast majority of the ground floor of the building. There are also more exclusive eating and drinking establishments, a larger entertainment venue and several small conversational nooks where gamblers can take a brief respite before plunging back onto the floor. The largest, central gambling area is two storeys high, with a promenade around the edge of the room and a large, domed ornamental domed ceiling overhead.

The second storey contains a number of function rooms of various sizes, ranging from small, intimate rooms for private meetings or larger, luxurious areas able to accommodate larger gatherings. Most of these rooms are set up as gaming rooms, but the staff can, with very little notice, change the furniture and fittings to suit everything from covert business meetings and private liaisons, to sizable banquets, celebrations, balls or even weddings.

The Casino is designed to feature elaborate maze-like corridors connecting large, elaborately decorated rooms. This is intended as camouflage to hide how big the building actually is and prevent intruders from discerning its true dimensions. There are many areas off-limits to guests, from kitchens and storerooms, to the living quarters of the Casino's owners and the underground areas. The building's previous owner had the building riddled with hidden rooms, doors, passages, stairways, rooms, and this has been of considerable use to the new owners who make use of these features to full advantage.

### Rooms

A separate section of the upper level is dedicated to a range of private quarters available for the use of guests of the Casino who choose to stay there. This is not a service that is advertised widely, and is usually available by invitation only.
