Aeranid Empire: Difference between revisions

Dining in Telhramir usually took place in the home.  As stated in my previous post, the *cōmus*, or house, was the central pillar of Aeranid society.  However, the form a ''comus'' took was dependant on class.  Only the upper classes and well established houses could afford a private free standing ''cōmus'' called a '''''tantiun''''' (from ''tantus'' ‘single’).  The rest of society rented space in public apartments called '''''truscēs'''''.  These where several stories high and could contain three to over a dozen ''comerunt''.  For logistical reasons, kitchens where either on the ground floor or the basement.  More expensive ground floor ''truscēs'' may have their own kitchens, but generally the ground floor was dedicated to public space, kitchens, or shops.  ''Truscēs'' above shops were especially inexpensive, as that meant tenants would have to go elsewhere to eat.  For those who did rent apartments with kitchens, food was generally included with rent.
