The Red Lantern Guild

This mod adds a new guild to the game called The Red Lantern. Ostensibly a guild of prostitution, pleasure and seduction; it is in fact a front for a more secretive underworld organization with ties to both the Thieves Guild and the Blades, specializing in blackmail and espionage. The guild houses present as taverns but do not operate as such. Admission and promotion are tied to your Personality score, as well as certain skills (see below) and, of course, your reputation with the guild. The quests start off as standard prostitution quests (like in my Prostitutes and Lovers mod), but slowly the more surreptitious underbelly is revealed. Getting serviced and servicing others comes with a small risk of catching a disease, as well as the chance, when servicing others and depending on your Personality, of not performing satisfactorily and getting a negative and violent response from an angry client.

Faction Data:

Social Group = Underworld

Parent faction = The Prostitutes

Allies = The Thieves Guild and The Blades

Enemies = Sanguine (plus enemies added into some quests, The House Sanguine Cult and The Wharf Rats, that aren't actual in-game factions)

The Red Lantern bawdy houses can be found in many large towns and cities. I'm using one of the taverns present in a oft used shopping plaza block so should be fairly common and easy to find - especially in the Breton regions. Although they look like a tavern and have an innkeeper present, the
