The Street of Silk Veils is the primary red light area in the city, replete with many beautiful women with whom one may pass a few hours in dalliance for a reasonable sum. One of the customs of Petrana (from which the Street draws its name) is that a woman who is open to suggestion from any man will wear a silken veil across her face; it is considered an insult to importune an unveiled woman. In Petrana, slavery is illegal, so the girls who work in the various houses, or as independents along the Street, choose to do so; they are sometimes joined by various women of the city in need of extra money, who work as amateur talent for a short time.
