Sisterhood of Mercy

The Sisterhood is an order of healers based primarily in the city of Freebridge within the massive cleric cathedral known as Sanctuary, which they founded. They have a small aid station in Hollymount, Lis Aventor and Navi Ren. Founded by Mother Felise, an elderly High Elf, the Sisters (all are female) are master healers, learned in the ways of herbalism, bone setting, midwifery, dentistry, and so forth. Mother Felise herself is blessed with what appears to be miraculous powers of healing, though she is not a cleric of Pelor, god of healing. The Sisters do not charge for their services, but instead ask that patients perform some favor at a later date, his may be a donation (not a fee) to purchase new equipment or rare herbs, physical help in maintaining or building a wing to the Sanctuary house, the center of the Sisterhood’s activity in Sanctuary, providing a Sister shelter on her travels, and such like. Favors are always within the patient’s ability to “pay.” A farmer may be asked to donate a small portion of his crops to the Sisters or help in erecting a new building, for instance, whereas a noble may be asked to help fund a new building by providing materials or a workforce. Player character Sisters are mendicants, sent out into the world to provide healing services to the needy.The Sisters are pacifists, believing that life is sacred. However, this makes them easy targets for bandits or roving orcs, so they are protected by the Swords of Necessity, a group of warriors healed by the Sisters, who pledge loyalty to them. Naturally, the Sisters and the clergy of Pelor do not see eye-to-eye. The clerics believe they have a monopoly on healing the poor, but their numbers are stretched, and the Sisters have filled the gaps
