The Hanging Lantern

The Lantern is an escort service and matchmaking company famed for the stunning beauty of its workers and the skill of its matchmakers. Its large, windowless building rises six floors above street level. Inside, dim light and gentle flute and harp music resound. There are rumors that the skill of the Lantern' matchmakers are because each are doppelgängers who use their mind-reading abilities to determine clients' true wants and desires, but these remain unfounded.

The Lantern also runs a side business as the closest thing Waterdeep has to a costume rental service, with accoutrements for any and all occasions. Costumes are rented out in 24 hour blocks, and renters must pay for the replacement of any damaged garments.
