Beginnings

Ul'dah is city-state known for an excess of wealth and an affinity for valuable gems, attracting the desires of those well off enough to afford it.Well-known weaver and textiles importer Robert Sidhe was one of these, soon causing gossip regarding sightings of him being spotted with another sort of Ul'dahn gem draped off his arm.Leannan, a retired dancer from the Garnet - a discreet lounge club that catered to the wealthy and influential.Being a man that had a reputation for collecting all matter of rare and beautiful items, Robert was persistent in his efforts at swaying the viera into accepting an offer of Eternal Bonding.

The Tailors

After they were official, Leannan took up the name Finley Sidhe at their husband's insistence that they shed their former stage-name.Soon proving they were more than just a pretty face, Finley picked up tailoring and began working alongside their husband in the tailor shop that operated out of Robert's seaside home in the Mists.Sidhe Tailors provided formalwear to wealthy clients from all over but the bulk of the Sidhe wealth came from Robert's main business - importing textiles from Kugane.When Robert set off by ship to negotiate further contracts with the master craftsmen in Kugane, he left the shop in Finley's hands to oversee with the help of the loyal house staff.There it remained for nearly three summers until word was sent back that Robert Sidhe was deceased.

New Beginnings

After Robert's death, Finley turned over ownership of the Sidhe shop to the house staff and moved back to Ul'dah for good, taking up the name Anthea in the hopes of a new start and returning to the little bespoke shop on Emerald Avenue that had become their own.Catering to a small and secretive list of clientele, the shop is open only after dark and offers not only high quality attire for every occasion, but specialty garment repair as well.Whether it's alterations or a bespoke piece, Anthea offers professional and discrete services for all their clients.

The Tailor

While Ul'dah may be known for it's excess of wealth and indulgences, it also suffers from an excess of crime.Like many in Ul'dah, Anthea dabbles in less than legal business ventures as well - provided you make it worth their while.Just as their shop is neutral ground, so to are their more gruesome services. Strictly reserved for friends and well-known associates from all matter of organization and criminal background, this viera is known to clean up more than just suspicious stains from a well-loved suit.Available to dispose of evidence and scrub any murder scene spotless, Anthea isn't afraid to get their hands dirty for someone in need, especially in exchange for a continued quiet existence in Ul'dah.However, they aren't without morals. Some crimes are far too much for even them and they won't have any part of concealing it from the authorities.

Whispers

Not all was portrait perfect with the Sidhe's marriage. Nearly three summers for a business deal in Kugane in an area that neighbored the Red Light district? Rumor was another gem had caught Robert's wandering eye...Despite marrying in to wealth, rumor is that Anthea is seen more often than not in unsavory places. Late-night bars, the Goblet's shady tunnels, and even underground fight clubs.In certain underground circles there's word of someone that can make just about anything disappear, from bloodstains in a shirt to a corpse left in an alley. Simply referred to as The Tailor, rumor has it you need to know someone to even get in touch with them but their services are worth the effort...
