"Titania is cupped in the petals of a colossal orchid. Heady with scent, lurid with colour. An enclave of Bohemians have made it their home, seeking inspiration in the wildness of the Reach."[1]

Titania is an artists' commune built on top of a giant space-orchid in the Reach.

Bohemians and Bees

The City's Rhapsodic Mayor.

"What is Titania? A question with no easy answer. To the poets, a place of inspiration. To the stone workers, an untouched slab. To the playwrights, a blank page. A place of tranquillity, of creation, and— Your interviewee pauses, suddenly looking worried. Do you hear buzzing? Apologies. Must get inside."[2]

The city of Titania is a refuge for Bohemians, a place where they can create art without any restrictions and districtions; a goal that is somewhat hindered by the huge swarms of Chorister Bees that regularly attack the place in search of the giant flower's nectar.[3][4]

Titania is a city of many different tastes and artisctic schools of thought; as a result of that, many important buildings are build only after very lengthy debates about their purpose and architectural styles.[5]


The Midnight Rose

"The Midnight Rose are a close-knit coterie that produce precise vintages of red honey. If you want to taste the bleak memories of an orphan, or the excesses of a reckless libertine, they are able to provide. Their leader is an Ethereal Apiarist, whose laced gowns are stained at the hem with grass and soil. Bees crawl, lazily, in her wild hair."[6]


Beneath the petals of Titania lies the Midnight Rose, a close-knit coterie that produces and distributes Gaoler's Honey; although, unlike most of the honey's other sources, it seems that Midnight Rose's victims willingly allow themselves to be harvested in the name of art.[7][8]
