It is located across the Stolen River from [[Ladybones Road]]. [[Fallen London]]ers may purchase a room there for a quite exorbitant price (no, this is NOT a free room like in the quote, unless you're "interesting", see below), then upgrade it for one that is simply ridiculous for all but the most famous and bizarre among them. | |||
[[File:Royalbethroom.png|thumb|left|A room at the Royal Beth. Art from FL.]]The manager likes to collect "guests of particular note", and by that he means the mentally ill or nightmare-plagued. If anyone starts showing symptoms of insanity, he will be by their side, ready to take them in when they finally snap. The higher the room he provides them with, the more interesting he finds their malady. As long as they stay there, he harvests their most eerie dreams for his Garden. | |||

''He also chucks you under the chin, which is a little over-familar, but, well. His buttons are so very shiny. It's difficult to quarrel with a man of such shiny buttons. 'Thank you,' he says. 'I do hope you'll continue to enjoy your stay.''' | |||
'''The Manager of the Royal Beth''' is the Priest-King of the First City; his lover is the King with a Hundred Hearts. Their story may be a reference to Gilgamesh (Enkidu, then, is the King with a Hundred Hearts), though this has been cast into doubt. He is responsible for its Fall, as he sacrificed his city in return for the King with a Hundred Heart's good health (the King was dying of "fits"). | |||
As of now, he also acts as '''May''' of [[Revolutionaries|the Calendar Council]]. | |||
He is also certainly a player of the Marvellous, and his desire is to share [[Polythreme|his lover's fate]] by becoming a second living city. It may be a reason why he collects diamonds, since all he needs is a diamond from the [[Gods of the Unterzee|Mountain of Light]] to replace his heart. | |||
In [[Parabola]], he keeps the Garden of Nightmares. | |||
His uncle is the [[The Relickers|Capering Relicker]], the man who brewed the first Hesperidean Cider. | |||
