Sonder Eden Building / Landmark in Ethrosa | World Anvil

Sonder Eden (sohn-dehrr IY-DahN)

The Undercrown encompasses a wide breadth of services. The Sonder Eden healing clinics are one of those long rumored services. They are small discrete places that will provided healing to anyone without question of who you are or where you received your injuries.  
Dearest Powerful god, grant me the strength to heal this soul and find the guiding light to health. Help them be quicker, more clever, and have the ability to hide better.

Finding Services

The buildings do not have visible signage. They look like non-descript houses, farms, general building, etc. that blend in with their surroundings. Those who are in the know search for the hidden symbol carved on the front or sides of the building. The Bee Balm flower became the symbol as it represents healing, good health, and protection from evil or illness. These clinics can be found throughout all the countries in Ethrosa besides the two new continents Xanathena who have the group the Iron Daggers and Feyth. The main headquarters is located in the Lower Jaahil District of Jaahil with a large outpost in Eirlys Cavern.  

Utilizing Services

Given the nature of secrecy there is a price to pay for services rendered from the Clerics of Sonder Eden. It can be gold, exchange of services, or trading of other goods. Each cleric sets her prices which can change depending on the person. Asleena, the main cleric of Jaahil's Sonder Eden, is generous to women and children along with those who she feels needs a break. She charges more for those who walk in demanding healing or think they have the right or services when they choose.

History

Originally Sonder Eden started as healers within the Undercrown healing members when called upon. Inez, seeing a lucrative business opportunity, decided to capitalize on the those who would like to hide their injuries or themselves from the Shields.   Inez and Betty worked together to build the clinics which took them about six months to completely be up and running in multiple cities, countries, and contients. It is estimated by some that there are well over 50 clinics across Ethrosa. Though Inez and Betty are the only ones who truly know the full extent of the Sonder Edens. Inez promoted Kendasha Starks to the leader of the Sonder Eden clinics in early 264.

I love the layout, how my eyes can wander. The prayer, a classic and that is not a bad thing. I am intrigued that it asks to hide the person, however.   I do wonder, though, what the flower represents and how it connects to the Sonder Eden.

Thank you! In the language of flowers the bee balm flower means healing, good health, and/or protection from evil or illness. The leader of the Undercrown, Inez, loves hidden symbols and hidden meanings in everyday objects as it conveys messages to those who are in the know.

Warmest Wishes, y'all

Thank you so much for that clarification! A beautiful language, flowers have.
