perfectly correct!

While working on the facilities planned for Moonbroth Spa (cf. Tales #16), I learned a few more things about Pelorian bath-houses, which I thought I'd share with you.

Like the Romans, they recognise three temperatures of bath: icy cold, warm, and steaming hot.

"Carmanian" membership gets you into the cold and hot baths; "Pelorian," the cold and warm; "Dara Happan," the warm and hot; only full-blown "Lunar" membership gets you into each and every one of the baths. (At a premium, naturally: this *is* a commercial enterprise).

Cheers, Nick
