Practitioners travel far just to gain experience in its facilities. Besides that, the Asclelion also serves as a center for the political and cultural life of the City-State.

In the Asclelion itself magicized healing cohexists with the more "traditional" forms of medicine. As such, Enthousiasts physicians and Polymath doctors do not compete within these grounds, or at least not openly.

Architecture

Generally designed in old world style, the many paths and common plazas are collonaded with white limestone extrated from the western of Lower Blunter, an old courtesy of the Kingdom of Blunter. The many different buildings from various schools of medicine all had their own personal architects hired for the task, making it hard to settle on a specific style.

The complex sits on a hill at the center of the City-State and is stretched a little under a half-mile square, with four levels each with their own terrace to welcome patients from all edges.
