A wide shot of Eternal Rome

General

Eternal Rome is split into 6 quarters, each under the jurisdiction of a different faction, usually consisting of a residential area and an assortment of shops.
Most quarters (with the exception of the Border of Fog and White Town) have 2 stores selling various goods.
The residential districts of each quarter are home to characters willing to pay sparks for trained slaves of varying quality & skill.

White Town

White town is governed by the Vatican, a shining example of peace and order. It's also home to the trade square, the largest assortment of stores in Eternal Rome.

Slave Market - The most common and safe place to acquire slaves. The auctions start off rather cheap, but it's recommended to bring the slave for a medical checkup immediately.

• If you recieve a completely useless slave, the Slave Market will take her off your hands for a pittance of sparks.

Salon "Elven Laid" - Hairstyling, waxing, makeup & manicures are must have treatments here, boosting Style just before a slave is sold off. The same services are also available for slavers, mainly to increase Allure, restore energy and even libido.
Gastronomicon - The only place to buy comestibles, and butcher slaves for meat.

• Kagami-San buys slaves:
  • Etiquette - C
  • Housekeeping - C
  • Cook - D
  • Secretary - D
  • Intelligence - D
  • Wants them highly trained and respectful: probably low temperament. No hints as to what rating overall
• Sometimes it may be more lucrative to butcher a completely useless slave rather than selling her at the market; She may be worth slightly more as meat.

Boutique of Servilla Quint - Menswear and ladieswear can be purchased here, raising base Allure/Style as well other skills bonuses.
Ashura's Treasury - Women's jewellery and accessories can be acquired here.
Manhunters Armory - Manhunter sells weapons and armor here for both slave & master.
Real Estate office- The player can pick up a contract with the real estate office to change their living quarters here.

The Slavers Guild

The slavers guild not only handles the laws that govern all slavers operating in Eternal Rome, but also provides helpful services as well.
Contract work - Mistress Angelika assigns prepaid contracts usually requiring a slave of a predetermined skill and rank to be trained. It's worth noting that it doesn't have to be the same slave, just that the slave meets the requirements.
Subpurchaser - Master Wong purchases slaves at set prices. If for some reason you can't sell a slave elsewhere, this is a decent third last resort.
The Expert - Master Skups can find slaves with customised base stats for the player to purchase, if they're willing to wait.

• The prices appear to vary from $100 to $1300
• A slave with S+ in all stats seems to take longer than 6 decades to find.

Auction - Players can auction off trained slaves here.

The Vatican

* "Ability to love. Without any perversions". Probably means allsex skills at A except Fetish and Xenophilia

Quarter of the Bull

Ruled by the pious Taurus Great House, this quarter is inhabited by the "Faithfuls"; people honouring the saviour, thereby earning special support from the Vatican.

Salon of Madame Jofre - The best and largest brothel in Eternal Rome, it's clientele mainly residents and faithfuls of White Town.

• Madame Jofre buys slaves:
  • D rank
  • Blowjobs
  • Regular sex
  • Group sex
  • Temperamental
  • Maid
  • Cook
  • Etiquette
  • Dancing, Singing & Music appreciated but not necessary.
  • Enough skill to be a Concubine
  • There are no hints as to what level each skill needs to be at.
• She pays $500 for each, and is willing to buy many.

Gentleman's Club - A club exclusive to the respected in the Quarter of the Bull. You need the favour of a senior Bull Quarter noble to join, but once admitted you will find lots of potential buyers.

NPC Residences

White Tower

Within the tower is the White Palace, the seat of government for the Quarter of the Bull.

Each of them wants a slave. Each has different specifications. In addition to other requirements, the ministers require their slaves trained to an "A" rating.

*The archbishop despises flabby bodies and demands his slaves be fit. Presumably the minimum would be "Healthy Weight".

Serpentine Quarter

Virgins Hip - Drinks for 1 spark each, and a place to sell waitresses.
Technosphere - Inside, players find the Medical Center, Cryostatic Core and Library Terminal. The Medical Center will be one of the most well visited places for established slavers but the Cryostatic Core will have limited usefulness as well.

NPC Residences

Administrative Spires

The Administrative Spires is the ruling citadel of the Serpentine Quarter.

* Wants a "master of transformation", no rank specified. May not mean anything important.
** "Strong Nature" - Endurance, I assume.
*** "Stage Presence"

Outcasts

Uncle Bo

Offers Brands and tattoos.

Slave requirements:

• Lolis
• C class sensitivity (empathy?)
• C class Cook
• D class Enchantress
• D class Singer
• D class Dancer
• Nothing exotic
• Pays extra for virgins, likes them plump and a little spoiled.

No information on how much he pays.

Mystra

Offers Alchemy ingredients.

Will pays 500 for a D class enchantress. Unlike most businesses, Mystra's requirement seems to be a one-time-only deal.

Public Animal Farm

Requirements for slaves:

• "Familiarity with mating stall"
• Obedient

Pay is 500 sparks. No hints as to what level of training is required.

Necropolis

• Steel Rose - BDSM, animal and fetish paraphernalia sold here. Body modification like piercings are done here as well.
  • Slave Requirements:
    • Health Blue/B; Sensitivity Blue/B. No exotics, no children, C/Purple Nurse; C/Purple Houskeeping. Also should be "graceful" (etiquette?), have pet skills, and "special sex games".
• Anatomical Theatre - A dinner theatre to entertain a predominantly undead audience with the artistic demise of a performing slave.
  • The Theatre will buy D-Level "actresses" (artists?) for 500 sparks each

NPC Residences

Courvus Tower

Corvus Tower is the seat of government for Necropolis. The head of Corvus House can raise you to Patrician, but first you must impress one of the House Ministers.

Each of them wants a slave. Each has different specifications. In addition to other requirements, the ministers require their slaves trained to an "A" rating.

* The term used is "secular lioness". Since the secular arm of a church is often military in nature, I'm guessing "gladiatrix". But it's just a guess at this point.
** "Solid nature". Could refer to the "nature" stat, but Endurance seems more likely.
*** "Solid nature" once again.
**** "Soft and refined". The A-level Style is titled "Refined", so I'm guessing "Style"

Border of the Fogs

The outskirts of the city are shrouded in a neverending fog, connecting Eternal Rome to other worlds dimensionally and/or possibly even temporally.
It appears the fog serves as the only way for goods to come and go, transported by "clippers".

Smugglers Rendezvous - Run by Balalaika, an ex-paratrooper from another world, this group of smugglers specialises in importing custom cloned slaves from an advanced planet for $2000.

• The available age options are Mature, Young & Immature

Moneylender's home - As the name implies, one can approach the loanshark Moneylender for for sparks. With interest to be paid, of course.

• He buys slaves:
  • Any useful skills
  • No Alchemy skill
  • Blowjobs - A
  • Wants high quality slaves (A?)

No information on how much he pays.

Base Camp - Taurus house's appointed Sergeant oversees the hastily built base camp, only offering the player $500 sparks in exchange for an obedient Alchemist slave.
Slums - Aside from the players starting house, none of the slum houses are accessible.

Patrol Border of Fogs

Only intelligent beings may travel the fog; Apparently this includes the assorted creatures make appearances near the border to accost any woman unfortunate enough to catch their attention.
Choosing to patrol the border, the player may encounter any of these accosting a slave:

• A Werewolf
• A Fog Fiend (Three levels: immature, adult and huge/hardened)
• A Lich Necromancer
• A Black Medic & 3 Minions
• 2 Beggars, a suprisingly strong cripple and 2 skinny old men
• A Paladin of Taurus House & 2 infantry
• A Group of beastmen.
• A Vampire

In general, immature fiends and vampires are the easiest opponents, followed by litches and adult fields. Huge fiends and werewolves can be challenging, as can any of the multiple opponent encounters.

Armour is recommended before engaging the group encounters. The Scum are probably the easiest and the beastmen the hardest. None should be approached lightly.

Upon defeating the enemy, the player gains the slave they just rescued. In the event the player already has one, she will be immediately sold off at the auction, the profit collectable at the White Town Trade Square auction the next day.
It is recommended to get your new slave checked at the Medical complex immediately.

Player Housing

Moving to a new quarter requires a 10 days rent in advance, with a one time agency commission fee.
To gain housing permission for a quarter, you must sell a slave to an NPC within the desired faction to raise your reputation with them.

*The Fiend Pen is empty until you have captured a fiend that has burst out of a slave. This kills the slave.
**The Border of the Fogs slum has no access to a bathroom, kitchen or extensions, making hygiene & training difficult as well as lowering morale. It's recommended to move ASAP.

Interior Design

In addition, each section of the home and it's rented extensions interior design can be customised to various styles for a one time fee.
