Order of the Adunih Outpost
Name of Location: Order of the Adunih Outpost
Description: It is only of late that the Order of the Adunih has really focused on improving their relations with the people of Desnind. Their customary way of handling patients has struggled to cope with local traditions. Many locals prefer the seek the healers at the Medicine House rather than trying the more modern methods of the Order.
To combat the stigma that the Order does not have a place in the city of trees, the members have seen to the construction of a new outpost within the canopy. A substantial effort is being made by the Order to make peace with the locals so they can better serve their medical needs. The new Outpost is located high in the trees of Desnind, and boasts architecture that is a blend of southern and northern styles. There are lovely carvings of trees intertwining on the front of the building, along with ivy growing along either side of the door.
There are in total two buildings, the first is the clinic itself where patients are admitted and examined. There is a small admission area with a simple wooden desk where patients and family members can speak to an Assistant Physician who will write down their information. There are also a few wooden benches along the walls across from the desk that serve as a waiting area. Potted plants are also arrayed about the space to make it more comfortable and inviting.
There is a curtained off threshold that leads into the exam area with a central hall. There are eight exam rooms, each are tidy little spaces with a table for the patient and a desk and chair for the attending physician. If it is decided that a patient needs to be admitted they will be transferred from this room to the second building that contains the ward.
At the back of the exam area is a break room for the staff members where they can rest or have a meal when needed.
The second structure can be reached by taking a right at the end of the hall that leads through the exam area. There is a swinging bridge that leads outdoors to the second building that appears much like the first, although it is slightly smaller. Inside is a large central room where patients are moved too if they need to stay at the Outpost overnight or longer. This is the ward. There are a plethora of beds with clean linens and pillows. Beside each bed is a small table with a glow lamp along with books for the patients to read and enjoy.
From the ward there are two other rooms at the back of the building. On the right is a very simplistic operating room where everything is kept impeccably clean. There is a polished wooden table at the center for surgery and several glow lantern arrayed around the room. There is also a skylight to allow more illumination into the chamber. The room of the left of the ward serves as a pharmacy where the Order makes and stores their medicines. Inside the walls are lined with cabinets and there are countertops equipped with mortar and pestles and delicate sets of scales.

Description: Rue has lived in Desnind for the better part of a decade after she moved here to help get the Order started. Getting any sort of traction with the locals has been hard but over time she had begun to earn their trust. Rue is a no-nonsense physician who relies firmly on science to treat her patients. She has had to learn the hard way that the local Sev’ryn often trust their traditions over well researched medicine practices almost every time. To combat this problem, Rue has become something of a proclaimed herbalist since natural medicines are regarded in a positive manner in Desnind.
Her personality is sharp as a rose’s thorn and she is quick witted and straight to the point. Physically Rue is a tall woman, standing nearly six feet tall and has a muscular physique. Her hair is a bright blonde hue and is extremely long, although she keep it neatly braided most of the time. For her wardrobe the physician is often seen wearing full length dark green or brown dresses paired with her gold Order cloak.

Description: Juel’rie is a young Sev’ryn teenager who starter working with Rue from the age of fifteen. Her parents don’t really approve of her choice to work with the Order of the Adunih over working at the local Medicine House. However Juel’rie prefers a more orderly and scientific approach to medicine. She now works as Rue Westfield’s assistant and is learning more and more about the practice of medicine.
Juel’rie is known as being a little over-emotional at times. Her feelings are easily hurt and she is quick to show a temper if someone is rude to her. This is likely due to her age and the fact that she is still new at dealing with patients.
The young Sev’ryn speaks fluent Common and Xanthean , so she spends much of her time acting as a translator for Rue since the older woman’s grasp on the local language is only passable at best. As for her appearance Juel’rie has soft rounded features and she is quite short, only standing at a little over five feet tall. The girl also has taken to wearing more northern clothes that she sees visitors wearing, to the chagrin of her parents. Typically this means she wears colorful cotton dresses and robes, she also commonly wears a headscarf to keep her hair clean and from interfering with her work.
