I have just started the first chapter of the second volume of my fantasy series and it is already becoming more socially strange and complex. The reason for this is because the opening scene takes place inside of a brothel, which was a type of location I never expected to write about. I am including a brothel in my fantasy series because brothels are as old as human civilization itself and people in medieval times frequently used them. Due to the privileged lifestyle of royalty, I can imagine members of royalty visiting a brothel often. I am incorporating this trait into the main characters of the second volume in order to give them more complexity as characters. What do you think?

It does sound intriguing. There’s a whole lot of ideas one can spin out of a brothel scene.
