Sex Work
Pragmatism rules in Deepfell. It's impossible to get rid of the world's oldest profession. So Deepfell tolerates it and has a guild that regulates it. In Deepfell, the only legitimate sex workers belong to a "Docking Guild" to whom they pay a portion of their profits for protection, advertisement, and when necessary, medicine or contraception. Unlicensed sex workers have no such protections and are violating the rights of the Docking Guild.
Taverns versus Dockinghouses
The average licensed sex worker does not work out of a Tavern. Those comely wenches and serving boys are either not sex workers, or are under the table and unlicensed. Licensed Docking Workers already pay overhead to the Guild and so they can't afford further overhead from a Tavern. Taverns have a varied approach to sex work. What their patrons do is their business as long as they are paying customers. But if serving boys and wenches are making money on the side in sex work, the Tavern's owners likely expect a cut (since that is time they aren't serving). Other taverns want nothing to do with the whole messy business and prefer to keep sex workers out of their establishments.
Dockinghouses are Guild-run establishments that cooperate with the Tavern Guilds. These taverns and inns are sanctioned places for licensed sex workers to ply their trade in relative safety. Most rent rooms as a semi-permanent residence and work in the Dockinghouse as a server or entertainers. It is assumed that most workers in a Dockinghouse are "on the menu" unless they are wearing a black hat or a black collar.
