A staple of the Seattle Nightlife, Dante's Inferno is also very poorly covered in 5E texts. The below work is almost entirely the work of, and attributed to, Eric Faber of Airborne Ham Games, with our sincere thanks
Summary
Perhaps the premier nightspot in Seattle, Dante’s Inferno has earned its place at the very top with a long history of devotion to the motto “nothing succeeds like excess.” One of three sister-nightclubs (the other two in London and Hong Kong), the Inferno takes the theme of “Nine Circles of Sin” quite literally, having nine levels. The first seven are associated with the Seven Deadly Sins; guests enter at the topmost level and descend to the increasingly select and rarified depths, weeded out by the Inferno’s door-staff and the wishes of the club’s manager and its owner, Dante Passini.
At the lowest levels are Purgatory (“where there’s a promise of getting into Heaven”) and Hell (“where you forget all about Heaven”). These are invitation-only, open to Dante’s favored few and the rich and famous of the Seattle nightlife scene. A ticket into Hell is a sure sign you have truly arrived in the Emerald City. With fantastic AR displays complementing transparent floors and spiral staircases, and full-service bars and menus on each level, there’s more than enough sin at Dante’s to go around, so pace yourself!
>You have to hand it to Dante. The Inferno, like a snooty French restaurant, makes being discriminated against part of the experience, but they do it in style. For example, a fantastic wrought-iron staircase spirals around the outside of the club so guests enter from the top floor and make their way down, meaning the lowest floors are the most exclusive. So, if you have to stand in line for hours, you might as well do it with a great view, right? The stairs have a canopy, so Dante’s can accommodate much longer lines than other clubs, and people are willing to go there just to be seen waiting in line!
Khan-A-Saur
Dante himself is an increasingly rare sight at the Seattle Inferno, as he prefers his townhouse in London and spends more of his time there. The nightly affairs are in the well-manicured hands of the manager, an elf named Alessio; always dressed sharp enough to cut you in the latest designer suits, his bald head covered with animated tattoos of hellish torments and delights and his solid black cybereyes reflecting the hot glimmer of flames, even when there are none present.
Ethernaut
The Inferno sometimes rents out Purgatory and Hell for private parties, which include a very nice security package, making them ideal for those get-togethers where nobody wants to be disturbed, or have their image captured.
