The Monastery
Empire Underguild inside Entertainers Guild
Can be home to characters.
A weird cult formed around worshipping the Angel yokai from the House of Vanity.
The entertainment house was founded by some very radical entertainers from the House of Vanity, a while ago. They kept on preaching around the house various theories about the angels which got them turned into fallen angels, but they didn’t take it so they left the house along with some of their followers from there. They tried to form a clerics underguild but messed around with the Church of Time and angered the head of the church, which got them banned from ever forming an underguild in the Clerics Guild, meaning they could no longer form a legal religious cult.
They returned to the entertainment district and formed an entertainment guild where they worship the angels.
The House is a fairly wealthy entertainment house, having a building with an inner yard. The entertainers are named either monks (males) or nuns (females).
It is organized similarly to a romanesque abbey: a cloister with an open arcade, a scriptorium where the entertainers write and copy texts, dormitories and such. The main room, which they use to welcome in guests, has the aspect of a small romanesque church. There is usually a choir of entertainers playing religious chants and such in there. They burn incense made of frankincense and myrrh, though often they mix small amount of drugs in the smoke, especially psychedelic ones. Not much though, only enough to convince customers of their cause - they don't want the hallucinations to take over.
The church part is more of a cover-up. They can't be an official religious cult, therefore they must cover up their cause under the activity of a entertainment house. So they must provide music or some sort of entertainment. They use it to convince people who enter to convert to their cause. They are not so much centered around obtaining money - though they do need it to sustain the House. Therefore once converting someone to their cause they often end up convincing that grifix to become their patron and regularly donate money to the Monastery.
Angel Yokai roam the monastery, though mostly they stay in a designated worship room, where the entertainers and guests deemed "worthy" can come and see them, and offer their worship. In order for one to be deemed worthy, they must offer a lot of money to the monastery, or be a regular patron. While the entertainers prefer the angels to stay in there and not show to anybody, they can't do anything if the angels decide to roam around and pop up in random places. They consider them to be divine beings, and places like the Time Church or the House of Vanity Entertainment House practice heresy, not recognizing them for their true importance.
