Haven for the Restless
In a world, where the wild growth of Wyrdmoss constantly threatens most life and seasonal surges of growth often overwhelm the protective measure of the last pockets of civilization, the sudden displacement of whole villages is not uncommon.
The culture is basically living a semi nomadic lifestyle, with most buildings focused on being erected quickly and abbadonned just as fast.
These sudden influxes of refugees are often a strain on other settlements, as they struggle to fight off the very surges that displaced their neighbours.
In Esteneth this problem is solved by the Haven for the Restless.
With the lords as their patrons, this charity provides shelter, basic supplies, and knowledge for migrants and fugitives and even fory an unusually large influx of visitors during events.
The members of the Haven specialize on quickly building shelters, sourcing both the materials as well as provisions.
Their tents are often found near the village square, where they are handing out both food and medical supplies to anyone who asks.
Additionally, their members take their time to teach people the use of tools and varous techniques to enable them to build their own shelters fast.
Ask and you shall receive. Be asked and you shall engage.Leading members of the Haven for the Restless have in turn the authority to requisition help from anybody that is receiving any food or shelter from them. Basically, they do not demand any payment in coin but in labour from the people if they are able.
Observations
This charity is a considerable political and social influence within Esteneth. Curiously no similar organisation of this size seems to have developed in the other nations. It is to be suspected the charity can be persuaded to extend their work outside of Esteneth but keep in mind they will most likely require an equal offer of help in return.
