The Baths of Giore are a public bathhouse for the Qrieth population, named in honor of Aminark. These baths are fed by The Waters of Imaan. The private pools are dimly lit by the luminescent microbes that flow through The Waters of Imaan, though the upper class private pools tend to get an extra dosage once a week to ensure the glow the brightest.

Public bathing is segregated by your social and economical position.

For the lower class galdori and passives, the bath consists of a large spacious carved room with long large communal bath. There is no separation between sexes. In the pool itself are carved trough seats for people to sit on. The water is lukewarm to decently heated. Bring your own towels.

For the middle class, the baths are housed in a another large area, with a large communal bath in the main room and some smaller same sex communal baths in sectioned off alcoves. There waters are warm to hot, and scented regularly each week with salts. Steam therapy and clay wraps are available for purchase. Towels are provided in a communal locker.

For the upper class, there is a lavish communal bath that breaks into three depths and pools, all with inbuilt carved seats that can seat one, two or three at a time. There are private alcoves available for use which are closed off to intruders by lightweight woven doors with an ability to place a 'do not disturb' sign on the front. The private pools are dimly lit by scones holding golden phosphorus stones and the waters scented with essential oils and salts on a daily basis. Potted Imaan Blossoms and soft towels are the decor available in the private rooms, along with a supply of soaps and washcloths. These private pools only service one to two people at a time. The waters in the upper class pools ranges is hot, though this heating can be controlled with a series of carved inlets that allow cooler glacial flow in from the peak of the mountain.
