The Moonshadow Crane was always one of the biggest houses in the Entertainers Guild, with a long history. Most grifix will think of this house when the Entertainers Guild is mentioned. Up till recently, it was ran by the Moonshadow Clan, but the last grifix from that claan died around 20 years ago, leaving the house without a headmaster. In this situation, the house was taken over by the oldest, most experienced entertainer there, Nightwater Bay. As a grifix who was born, raised and lived her whole life in the Entertainers Guild, she knew all of the struggles that the entertainers must go through. So naturally, she tried her best to make life easier for the grifix in her house. That also benefited the customers, as the entertainers there were much happier and were able to entertain the guests much better. Now the house is renewed amongst the Entertainers Guild to be a very safe place to work. The young grifix especially prefer to leave the houses they were born in and join the Moonshadow Crane. It even got some young grifix that decided to join from outside the house, without being forced, on their own will. That waas something almost unheard of in the Entertainers Guild.
The building of the House is one of the first buildings you see when you enter the Entertainment District. It is an imposing building, painted in dark shades of blue and grey, contrasting with the usual red colors of the Entertainment District, but still blending in, looking as if the District could not exist without it. When you enter the building you will be greeted by younger grifix, that wll guide you to a main room, in which you will meet the entertainers. Depending on the service you ask for, you will be entertained accordingly. Be a good customer and treat the entertainers properly, and maybe you will be allowed to see your favorite entertainer between four shoji - alone, in one room. Beware though, for money isn't the only thing they ask for. The beauty of this dark world of desires will always rob something else from you. Foolish are those who believe this house is only after their wealth. Here you may fall in love, but from one pit to another, you will be pushed off in an endless pit of despair if you aren't wary of what you speak.
The children in this house wear a certain outfit, that tells the guests they are not there to entertain them. They take it off whenever they are ready to become entertainers and their training is done, but regardless of what they might want, the Headmaster will only let them do that once they are 16 years old, for their own good. Here's how the outfit looks:
This outfit is mandatory for Moonshadow Crane grifix under 16, so you must include a version of your grifix wearing in the reference if the grifix fits in that category. You can find bases using this oufit in the base gallery.
