Sister's Hospital

Cool, shade greets the traveller and his companion as they step through the portico into the atrium. Benches sit in serried ranks in the middle of the room. Scattered upon them are the sick and unwell of the town and its surroundings. The companion coughs and shudders violently as the traveller helps him to be seated.
  Slowly time passes, the white ghost like Selli Neinnava soundlessly move to tend to the assembled the patients. Soon it is the traveller's companion who is greeted. Efficiently, the sister looks over the young man, noting symptoms and signs. With care he his taken away and washed, dressed and fed. Poultices and bed rest are prescribed. After paying the fees the traveller leaves and seeks his own accommodation in the town.

  The Sister's of Neinnava hospice is a large building built in the Dunedain style. An entrance hall serves as the triage area with benches for those who wait to be seen. The complex consists mostly of wards for the sick to be treated according to their illness. However, there are a few isolation rooms for sicknesses that are a danger to the general public and operating theatres for when limbs must be removed by surgeons. In addition, the Sisters also have a maternity wing, in which mothers are supported during child-birth by midwives away from general view. Within the walls of the complex, physic gardens contain herbs used to support healing, these are also used as areas of recovery and rehabilitation.
  Healing is open to all the free races of Eriador, but payment in some form is required to support the order's work. All the Electors of Caras Celairnen, support the hospice through a regular donation (you never know when you may need a healer), locals may pay with goods and services. On the other hand, travellers are encouraged to support the hospice with coin which can be used to pay for less common goods and services.
