Sanatorium of Mercy
The sprawling Sanatorium of Mercy dominates the heart of Sudwand. A formidable white-washed presence amongst the sagging ramshacled and ever-changing tenements that house the wards residents.
Very few know what happens within the perimer of the compound. Unlike other Shallyan Temples like the Hospice in Krankenfeld, the Shallyans here are highly selective about who receives their care and visitors are not permitted inside the gates.
Family members who inquire after a patient receive weak excuses, and those who recover are tight lipped about the nature of their therapy. Rumours abound of course, but everyone agrees that the treatment provided is the best in Altdorf.
The central building itself is a former barracks, which was requisitioned to quarantine those afflicted with the Yellow Shakes in the 2472 outbreak. The rest of the building extends across several half-timbered annexes. The whole complex is surrounded by a wrought-iron fence with thick stone fence posts, each topped with a carved dove. Every morning, dozens of sick and infirm supplicants wait outside the gates, but the priests deem few worthy of treatment.
