Ginecomium of the Blue sisters.
Originally founded in 327MC as a guest house of Ernmas Monastery in Lansyn, was originally used as the name suggest to provide assistance to women, especially during the final stages of pregnancy and during delivery. During the centuries has gone through regular expansions, expanding simultaneously the typology of services provided. At the present, thanks to a thriving community of Dian Cecht and Ernmas clergy, is probably the most popular hospital in Phaldorya.
Purpose / Function
The guesthouse originally was built to host women during delivery and puerperium and receive the assistance of midwives from the local Ernmas temple. At the present day, thanks to the support provided by the crown of Free Principate of Hörburg the Ginecomium has expanded the services and the structure providing state-of-art treatment for every ailment that can be treated and assistance for conditions that cannot be treated.
Alterations
The original building was, according to contemporary testimonies, limited to a few huts provided with beds, fireplace and water supply surrounded by a wooden fence to grant protection and privacy. After the village and the temple was assaulted by a goblin army in 360MC, the Blue sisters choose to rebuild the complex in a more convenient way. Presently the main complex is protected by a solid wall, that has revealed useful during more recent conflicts, with the ground floor reserved to the original purpose to assist women during birth, the first and second floor provide assistance to treatable ailments who are recognized as non-contagious. Behind the main complex, a number of small buildings, refitted from old houses, provide individual enclosures for patients affected by conditions that can be treated but are suspected to be contagious. Finally another large building provides shelter to patients who suffer the effects of permanent conditions, such as amputations or blindness. The walls of the buildings are covered by a thick blanket of Ernmas Ivy, a creeping vine sacred to the goddess.
Ooh, I can really imagine the buildings covered in ivy; the pictures really help a lot too! This seems like a good place to be treated at. Great job! :)
Thank you!
