Your Complete Guide to the Elizeium Baths Top Floor
Top Floor Pass
You can buy your top floor pass directly for oil in the lobby when you enter the baths, or you can also trade rings for a pass at any of the stairs. The pass is valid for one flame or until you leave the bath. Save oil and buy a whole year’s pass, or, even better, the 100-year deluxe pass!
Top Floor Rules
- Contemplate the art.
- Avoid spilling food or drink in the pools.
- Snuggling is allowed on the entire top floor—but ask before you act and don’t block the hallways.
- No excessive screaming. Ask an attendant for a gag if you can restrain yourself.
- Do not climb, lick, or defile the statues or paintings.
- Please wipe any surface that has been besmirched. Towels are provided for free, use them!
- Have fun!
Art Facts: Master Plan
When extending the top floor of the Baths, Elize commissioned two sets of statues to commemorate her reunion with her siblings. While Elize paid for it, she gave Icarus and Sejal free rein to work out the details with the artist on their respective statues.
Icarus chose a scene from before Crane was a name known to the world, when it was just the two of them and they had nothing. It depicts Icarus contemplating their future, finding a way to make their ambitions reality. He was stuck on an impossible dilemma when Elize danced past and pointed out a detail he had missed. Icarus now credits this one moment as the foundation of his entire master plan. What was the detail? He won’t say, as “even now, more than a hundred years later, the pieces are still in motion.”
Artist: Gian Belgrath.
Height: 24 arms, 10:1 scale.
Medium: Faradon marble.
Style: Neo-heroic nude.
Reception: The statue has been generally well received. “The contrast is excellent,” said one critic. “Icarus places himself almost outside the frame, slumped over and defeated. While a spry Elize is given center stage to swoop in and support her brother in a time of need.” Another critic commented “Gian made the heavy marble seemingly float with Elize impossibly balanced on one leg.”
Trivia: Rumor has it Icarus included a little barb at their largest rival, the Bloodworth Federation, in this statue. Arwel Bloodworth is known to use her personal observatory to spy on the other districts from atop her tower. Should she direct her spyglass towards this window, however, she will find quite the cheeky rebuttal aimed straight back at her.
The Chandeliers
This is a piece of art you can have dinner on. High above the grand hall hangs two chandeliers, each with a small kitchen at its center, surrounded by a circular dining platform. Your food is prepared right before your eyes by our very best chefs. Be sure to make your reservation in advance!
Artist: Glassblowers Guild.
Medium: Metal and glass.
Style: Spiky deathtrap.
Warning: Do you have bad “sea-legs”? Maybe skip this one. The gentle swaying of the platforms doesn’t sit well with some. Please do not throw up into the pool below.

The Many Rooms
A long hallway that runs the length of the building. It’s divided into smaller sections, each with their own purpose: fun activities, art, exotic styles, and much more. Most of the rooms are sponsored by a guild or merchant wanting to display their wares, while some are paid for by particularly rich elves who just wants to show off.
The Library
The top floor library is far more extensive than the one on the main floor. The room is stacked with shelves seven layers high all the way to the ceiling. If you get lost in the labyrinth of books, stairs, and ladders, please call out and one of our attendants will help you out.
The Long Bath
A narrow pool with a bench running along the entire perimeter, perfect to sit in for some tea, cake, and gossip. This calmer side of the floor also offers greats views into the great hall and out to the city. Breakfast is served here at dawn, in case you decided to stay all night.
The Masquerade Hall
A bit hidden gem that is easy to miss, but a place well worth finding. In here you are required to wear a mask, which you can find on your way through the library. This is to create a sense of mystery and intrigue, as you never know whom you might meet in there.
The Snooze Dome
Please be quiet, this is a place where you take a nap and regain your strength if you’ve had too much fun. It also hosts a salted pool, should you prefer the weightless feeling of sleeping floating on water.
The Snuggle Dome
Hardly needs explaining. This is where you get to know your fellow bathers or our attendants better.
The High Gallery
With an excellent view of the Hot Bath below, as well as the Arwel District across the bay and the sea beyond. Here you also find the private baths which access for a small fee.
The Banquet Hall
Mostly used for special occasions and is rented out for private feasts.
Elize’s Residence
Located at the east end of the baths. But it’s, of course, closed to the public. If you are here on official business, speak to her assistants in the office.
