Location from The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss
The finest music house in the Four Corners, located in Imre. A place where musicians prove their worth and, if they are exceptional, earn their talent pipes.
The Eolian is where music is taken seriously. Not as entertainment — as art, as craft, as something that can break you open if it's done right. Anyone can play for the crowd, but to earn your talent pipes you must play before the house musicians and move them to silence. Stanchion runs the place with a generous hand and a sharp ear, and the regulars include some of the finest musicians on the continent. Kvothe earned his pipes on his first attempt, playing 'The Lay of Sir Savien Traliard' with Denna's voice joining his own — a performance that left the room in tears. It remains the place where Kvothe feels most like himself, more than any lecture hall or library.
A large, well-appointed establishment with a raised stage, warm lighting, and excellent acoustics. The audience sits at tables arranged in a gentle arc, and the walls hold the quiet reverence that only a place devoted to music can sustain. A pair of silver pipes marks the sign above the door.
