The healers
 

Who
Individuals with a great sensitivity to magic and a great deal of control over it. Promising children are picked up by other healers and trained as apprentices. They are not the only healers in the fiefs, but they are the most skilled ones and are consulted by anyone with the opportunity.

How
They heal through massages, by touching the skin of their patients and manipulating the magic currents inside their body. Occasionally, they will create herbal and mineral solutions infused with their magic to have the patients ingest them in their absence of to have it work in the long term.

Where
Travelling from fief to fief freely to go where they want. Fief lords and ladies have to pay them and tempt them with special offerings to attract them to their fief. Ward pins are often a condition of their stay anywhere. Those who try to trap them will find themselves falling mysteriously ill.
 
   
 
Their culture
 

Respect
There is a big mystic around them and their extraordinary power, not helped by them not being local and so having been raised as enemies. They are as admired as they are feared. Do not believe the numerous rumours spread about them.

Diplomats
Healers can bring information and goods with them as they travel, and they also very often participate in negotiations between fief lords and ladies to bring peace and prosperity to people as another kind of healing.

Relationships
Healers rarely gather in big groups. They have complex relationships with each other, and even if they rarely fight openly, there are big rivalries between healers' families, and family loyalties is very important to them.
