Submitting Milos' place of work. As a note, it's not his business, and Ástra isn't a personal NPC, so I'm happy for anyone to use both.
-----
-----
With little more than two millenia of life, Ástra has seen her fair share of Æld'Norai come and go, and has mentored quite a few herself. Despite her stern expression and way of speaking, she's quite laid back and quite flexible to accomodate requests. She takes great pride in her culinary skills, and one of the few sure-fire ways of angering her is to complain about her food within ear shot. Some of the older Æld'Norai may remember her as a hunter that lived almost exclusively within the forests surrounding the Basil, until one day she just took roots and never left again. Now, Ástra is hardly ever seen outside of Söngr Nætur and refuses to speak about her past or the child that some are quite sure she had.
While Ástra is unlikely to directly mentor anyone anymore, she welcomes any Æld'Norai and even some faefolk within her establishment, and is quite permissive with who she hires as a performer. As long as they can dance, sing, or play an instrument, or are willing to learn, Ástra is happy to make space for them. She harbors a communal and almost familial atmosphere amongst her performers and will interfere into any quarrel that starts to become more serious. Ástra expects everyone inside Söngr Nætur to respect each other and won't hesitate to kick someone who is causing legitimate trouble to the others.

Owned By:
Ástra fyn’Brunn Bræir
Enterprise Tier:
Small
Purpose:
Cabaret and brothel
Location:
Outskirts of Hekseved District, Ælfiríki, Ælheim
Description:
A small, round building with large windows, the Söngr Nætur is a Ástra's pride and joy, and those who work for her are sure she actually lives there. Once someone crosses the door, they find themselves in a cozy room filled with soft pillows spread on the ground and dark folliage on the walls. There, one can order food and drinks, prepared by Ástra herself, and enjoy the music and dance that go on throughout the night. Food is served on raised trays that allows guests to eat while sitting on the pillows, and the dancers are only allowed to perform once they are experienced enough not to knock the drinks as they move through the floor.
Although not originally part of the service, guests can call on the performers to sit with them, enjoying their companionship, flirting or just talking through the meal. Some will ask for something more, and Ástra eventually annexed another small building to Söngr Nætur's main hall, filled with somewhat private rooms guests can go to.
Goods/Services:
The main purpose of Söngr Nætur is to offer musical entertainment while guests eat or drink. However, most performers will also perform sexual services upon request. While Ástra can facilitate such transactions if guests ask for any guidance, the final say always lies with the performer and she won't attempt to convince them otherwise.

- Food & Drinks: While there is a wide selection of drinks—both traditional and Ástra's own creations—food is restricted to finger food that can be eaten without cutlery or traditional dishes styled as finger food.
- Companionship: If a dancer is not performing, they will serve the guests and sit with them when requested to do so, providing friendly or more flirtatious company depending on the guests' wishes.
- Sexual Services: Most performers will agree to sexual services with their favorite guests, and they expect to be propositioned even if they deny the request. The specifics need to be arranged with the individual performer.
