Shavichehis Apothecaria

The Shavichehis Apothecaria is a research organisation searching for new medication and medical spells.
They are situated deep in the rainforests of North-West Helia, and focus their efforts on the wide varierty of mushrooms and lichens that grow there. The Apthecaria's remedies are sold across Iasteron and beyond, so they do not use animal components in any of their products, making them suitable for the widest variety of patients from Iasteron and Qevrun's numerous cultures and species.
Shavichehis also operates an academy, with graduates arriving from and travelling to countries far beyond Iasteron, despite the long and often dangerus trip. The academy's training in the identification and use of regional plants and fungi is exacting and mandatory before a prospective healer leaves the apothecaria. In return, particularly useful foreign specimens are transported to the apothecaria to be cultivated in large greenhouses which emulate the plant's local climate.

Public Agenda

Primarily a reserach organisation, the Shavichehis apothecaria is dedicated to discovering new uses for plants, spells, and combinations thereof to heal and prevent disease.

Assets

As the source of their current prooducts and future research, the apothecara's most valuable asset is the rainforest, seed vaults and greenhouses. They employ a small contingent of guards to protect their plants and seeds against poaching and vandalism.

History

Founded in 5.573, at the beginning of the Helian Enlightenment, the apothecaria was an offshoot of the broader Qā-Jāre academic tradition. It is still funded nad supported by the central Qā-Jāre Temple in Helia and its codes and practices still show evidence of its Qā-Jāre roots - reseraching for the betterment of the future, and providing medical care top all who need it, at no cost to the recipent.
