Thavnarian elegance melds peacefully with Eorzean amenities to craft a space designed for pampering and relaxation. Staffed by only the most well-trained, highest-grade Courtesans in the realm to attend to the needs of all of the Rest’s patrons, The Keeper’s Rest separates itself from the common with its attention to detail and staff who care deeply for her patrons. The staff of this little paradise offer, above all else, companionship and genuine appreciation for all who enter her space.</font></div><br> |

This Company seeks to offer a comfortable and welcoming space of pampering and luxury to the In-Character High-Class society of the realm. The Company Staff is a collection of well-trained, well-educated Courtesans who offer a wide menagerie of skills to take care of their patrons. Please see the Services page for a list of services offered by our staff – and if there is a service there that you would like to see offered in the future or one you feel that your character can bring to the Company, please do not be shy to bring it up with the Company Leader.</font></div><br> |

Our staff and Company members offer many skills and talents beyond just physical carnal needs. This Company is also not one that offers services for in-game gil (though tips are accepted and greatly appreciated), as we care more about the RP environment than the size of your wallet. Furthermore, the members of this Company are not here to be your blood-dolls, drama outlets, or to behave as common whores. If this doesn’t sound like the environment for you, as either a patron or a member of staff, there are numerous other options on Balmung – we ask that you do not try to force your characters into a space that they would not normally fit. We greatly appreciate your understanding.</font></div><br> |

We realize that many players have Companies that they are already involved and invested in for various reasons, and as a primarily RP oriented organization we do not want to ask our members to leave their own groups to come be a part of ours. Rather, we offer a Free Company to Company staff who would like to join us for the official tag, a teleport to the house, and a room, and alternatively we have a Linkshell that both staff all staff and patrons can be a part of without having to join the Company proper.</font></div><br></td></tr></table></div> |

Citation from: FFXIV-Gamer-Escape Lore-wise there is very little known about Thavnair at this point and time, and much of this section is based around what little we do know alongside some personal headcanons. This section is also very likely to change at a later date once we receive more lore-based information (hopefully during Stormblood) on this mysterious little island! Thavnair, being a medium-sized island, surprises the world with its far-reach of luxuries and influence. Many of Eorzea’s alchemical advances are thanks-in-part to the research and supplies from the Radz-at-Han nation. Alongside alchemical influence, we see examples of Thavnairian culture in the beautiful, yet sturdy, collection of outfits and weaponry from this near-eastern state.
