Order of Rosalia

This article is a Work In Progress!
Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments below.

What does one do when healing magics fail to cure them? For many long years they were considered cursed or forsaken by the gods. In recent years a small sect of Atia's priesthood has become well known for caring for those with chronic illnesses that other treatments or magics are unable to help. The Order of Rosalia specializes in treating these cases. Often members of the sect will simply become attendants for those ailing, but there are a few retreats throughout Bennoria where people can seek out their care. The largest and most well known is the Balnea House west of Mernei on the isle of Shiris. 

Treatments that they provide include everything from medicines to spiritual council. Certain Illnesses have been found to be caused by the person's behavior or diet and the members of the Order will do their best to guide the sufferer to a healthier lifestyle. Those they can not cure they will care for and continue to seek treatments that will work. 

Public Agenda

The Order seeks to treat any who are ill, even if they seem beyond the reach of healing magics.

History

In XX there was a priestess of Atia named Rosalia. Like her fellow acolytes she was passionate about caring for the sick and healing where she could with whatever means available to her. Her talents in divine powers were limited and she relied on medicines and herb lore. Time and again she saw many of the priesthood encounter those who were suffering from chronic illnesses and pronounce them cursed when their divine magics failed to cure them. This bothered Rosalia greatly because she believed that Atia would never forsake any of the truly ill. She began to seek these suffers out and aid them as she could. In time she discovered that many of these illnesses could be treated and overtime they could be cured. Rosalia is credited with finding treatments for many chronic conditions including: diabetes, asthma, and others. In time, others of Atia's priesthood sought out Rosalia to learn her treatments and assist in treating those that others had forsaken.  After Rosalia's passing in XXXX the priesthood of Atia officially recognized The Order of Rosalia as a sect and gave them their blessings. It is their official stance when encountering those beyond divine healing to seek out the order.
