The Bathwells of Nirn are... unique in that they utilize the talents of a small, domesticated Nirn, one of the few of its kind. The Nirn, upon consuming water, will emit it back in a different form by adding in particles of its mucus. The water becomes exceptionally sleek, almost silky, with regenerative properties. The Bathwells, manned by this Nirn, hold exceptionally relaxing qualities, excellent for skin care, general health, muscle relaxation and reducing strain and aching. For this reason, they are highly sought after, and are nearly always packed with Lothar laying about wantonly for hours at a time. Recently, a much smaller women's section opened.

The Bondenlagen farms are owned by a Lothar and his wife directly outside of the city. it is here that Luden and Aela get to work on breeding animals and monsters for the good of Uthaldria. The farm stretches 4046 acres of land and holds mostly livestock. The Livestock bred here is often transported to other parts of Clan Stahlmark's holdings for feeding bigger animals and other Lotharen.

The Fallen Brother Hospice acts as a medical community for those who do not operate within a Path, or for some reason cannot find care within their Path. Since most Paths provide medical services and carry medics within the profession, hospitals for the general public are not seen as a priority in Uthaldria, particularly due to the scarcity of medical professionals. It was therefore the duty of immigrants to build a hospital to suit the general citizenry, though due to the density of people in Uthaldria and the relative lack of professionals, the accommodations in the hospice are for the desperate only. However, all services are free, with the hospice taking donations to stay afloat.

The Beastwells, a massive facility similar to a modern zoo in appearance and structure, is a place for individuals to view, study and purchase beasts for the sake of combat, field exploration or other variable practices. Founded initially by the government to increase the amount of safe public activities, it has since evolved, and now acts as a place of breeding and researching all domesticated monsters. Virtually any domesticated monster within Uthaldria can be found here, and many can be purchased.

The Ancestor's Shaperate is a library within the city, known as one of the greatest libraries of Western Idalos. It is considered to be as such not due to a vastness in the quantities of books, but by the unique way in which books are written: by means of first-hand knowledge into the past. While history may be written by the victors in other parts of the world, it is not so with the Lothar, who can firmly and fondly remember the things which they have seen from many lives ago. The Shaperate's section on history and technological developments is quite anecdotal, with a consensus being formed by multiple Reborn Lothar to determine the accuracy of any books. As a result, their academia is instinctual and biological, just as much of their other actions are.

Regardless, a non-Lothar has been given the position of librarian within the Shaperate, organizing and licensing the books while the Reborn Lothar act as their authors. Much of the books are rewritten multiple times over by the librarian, who spends nearly all of her time working in the Shaperate.

The Arcane Orerry exists in place of the Seekers, Coven and other magical factions. Magic-based factions not supervised directly by the Wilder Roksgard are not allowed in Uthaldria. As a result, the Arcane Orerry - a government run center for magical learning - has sprung up to guide mages towards competence in their practice, connecting mages with apprentices and collaborating with the Paths to ensure mages are promoting the wellbeing of the city.

The Orerry is, also, a center of artifact creation and magical logistics determinations. Several mages of the Alsingarde work within the Orerry to ensure magic does not grow too prevalent in the city, nor mages too rebellious. Non-Lothar mages, particularly, are given extra care in dealing with and are watched by their colleagues within the Orerry. There is currently a proposal to the Roksgard to turn the Orerry into a full magical college, though it is unlikely to be accepted.

Brederhan, or Brotherhood in Haltunga, is a massive adoption agency run by the Path of the Breeders. The agency typically operates out of the Hallen den Bonde, but carries several locations across Gauthrel, and a large satellite building in Uthaldria. At any given time, there are hundreds of Lotharro being taken care of by the Breeders, raised from infancy to know of themselves, their Path and their goals. Brederhan allows law-abiding citizens with a home and no outstanding debts to adopt children, introducing them to their clan. They are typically far more critical in evaluating the parental capability of a non-Lotharro, as such parents may not know the significance of a life in the city.

Brederhan is considered to be one of the most well-maintained adoption agencies in the world, considering the sheer number of Lothar that end up here upon being Reborn, if they are not taken by a Likryjr (life-mate) or previous friend. Additionally, as many Breeders produce dozens of children across their lives to expand upon Gauthrel's Lotharro population, these children are often placed here to be raised. Brederhan is constantly being expanded upon, requiring a staff in the hundreds to maintain proper quality of life for the children.

The Haunted Harlot, located in the Steps of Valor, is the highest-earning and most critically acclaimed tavern in Uthaldria. Owned by a man of exceptional class and poise, it strikes visitors distinctively with its atmosphere, highly unique to Uthaldrian norms. The rules of the establishment are as follows:

1. No violence, save for mutually consensual rough-play.
2. No loud, unprovoked shouting
3. No threatening of anyone, or loudly declared challenges of a physical nature
4. No dancing on tables
5. No throwing of food

With these five rules, often called the Cardinal Five, the Haunted Harlot has set itself as a classy establishment in suburban Uthaldria, enchanting guests with its excellently cooked meals and unique, fine wines.

Nidhoffnir is a tavern funded by the Bonde, using their grains and crops to brew the alcohol under their own expenses. The tavern is notorious for hosting massive, abnormally intense, hyper aggressive bar fights two or three times a trial. While it isn't by intent that these fights break out, it's considered odd that this tavern in particular is where the magic happens. Most Lothar sum it up to the fact that aggressive, low-class drunkards find themselves in this tavern and are always quick to anger. The looseness of the law regarding low-tier assault probably has its hand in letting Lotharen get away with these fights so frequently.
