Mender

Menders are the healers/medics/doctors of the Daulka, whom tend to the injured and sick of the community.

Location

Can be found in most Grands, within or close to the Mender's Hut or within a similar named structure for more militaristic settlements, such as The Order. Some also chose to travel, either alone or with various groups, such as The Wanderers.

Ranks

Head Mender

The eldest/most experienced mender of a community. They oversee operations and are the primary trainer for hopeful apprentices.

Mender

A Daulka that is considered finished with formal training but is not the Head Mender. Seniority among them is determined by experience and reputation. They make up the bulk of the number of menders in a community, perform the majority of the duties and assist in training apprentices.

Apprentice

Menders-in-training, or mender-hopefuls. Many attempt to become members, but most find themselves unable to handle the physical demands or have the constitution, to pass the tests.
Apprentices are initially tasked with cleaning and refreshing supplies, these responsibilities gradually expanding until Head Mender decides they are ready for their final test. This test usually involves with performing a minor surgery or other similarly taxing procedure: how well they perform will determine if their apprenticeship is over.

Medical Practices

Menders use herbology for tonics, balms and ointments, with a focus on 'balancing' the disturbed elements that are believed to be the cause of many illnesses.
Ailments of a more 'physical' nature they are more practical in nature. Setting bones, stopping bleeding and so on. Surgery can also be performed, but this is only used as a last resort or when their services are needed to enact a punishment on a criminal (e.g. Pouch Cutting).
