Entertainment

 There is not much for entertainment in the palace except when there are banquets being held, but those in the palace do find ways to pass the time.  Games are played by guards, that could be anything from cards to dice. On some nights there's always a party in the dungeon with live music, drinking, and dancing amongst servants. The Bard sings in the guard's lounge and sometimes up on the second level in the library. Besides the local hubbub the only other means of entertainment falls when the palace has special guests like say Baron Sukumvit or any other royals. This is when the banquet hall will be utilized for shows, theater, poetry, singing, and orchestral music. The most famous shows are the live fire ones, the After Hours club for adults only (usually males), and the comedy theatricals. Lots of food and drinks are served including hallucinate drugs up in the hookah balcony. It's a night (or nights) with the Dancing Medusa, the Sun Goddess, the metal whip dancers, blood and glory, sensual dancing, and acrobatics type of ballet performances and court jester.

The Banquet Hall is a fireproof room, and has six rectangular tables put out for dining, while the other half of the room is reserved for performers. Lord Azzur will watch from the golden glitter booth. He's so weary of being assassinated he will not sit exposed to anyone. Most of the people who do the live shows are staff of the palace, this is the time they get to show off their many talents. There may be the odd guest singer or such. The serpent lady from the court room is a performer as well. During banquets, the staff that's not involved take this time to drink and be merry. It is however not the best time to sneak in or infiltrate the palace while it seems off guard, this is the time when other servants like the ghosts, golems, creatures and animals are at their most peak and dangerous. Guests must be careful where they go in the palace, it's not wise to just wander off anywhere they like. 

Summer and Autumn sees most partying, while the colder months everyone is quiet. The palace otherwise doesn't see much action, and his lordship likes to stay reserved and at peace while at home. His personal entertainment are his two vampire mistresses, his crystal ball, and observatory rooms. There is a lyre player that may perform in the saloon some afternoons on the 4th level.  

Some levels of entertainment also depends on the time of year, where in warmer seasons there might be Bays Ball type games on the grounds, a form of cricket, or football. In colder times, where most people stay indoors there'd be a lot of table games, reading, poetry, and musical instruments to learn and play. The types of music are done by drums and pipes with dancing and jigging.

Lord Azzur really doesn't oppose his staff having fun, as long as it doesn't disturb him. 

If there are outings from the palace where few servants are permitted, the gladiator games, live theaters, baseball games, pie eating concerts are enjoyed by only trusted members who are allowed to leave the grounds such as head guards, the cooks, certain grounds workers, and staff like the orcs, half orcs, goblins and gardeners.
