The future, good or ill, was not forgotten, but ceased to have any power over the present. Health and hope grew strong in them, and they were content with each good day as it came, taking pleasure in every meal, and in every word and song. (The Ring Goes South, FOTR)
West of Elrond's Last Homely House, amidst the beauty of flowing rivulets, fair gardens and rich beech woods, Adab Nestad offers a quiet and peaceful retreat for those in need of rest and healing. The elegant stone building was established during the founding of Rivendell.
The healers of Adab Nestad treat all who are injured and afflicted, regardless of race. They welcome patients troubled by injuries of body, spirit, or mind. Minestor Fuin Elda has returned after long years now that Quill has gone to visit family. Cándo is her Tinestor; they honour the Elven healing traditions as the custodians of the ancient hospital.
The Grounds
A large and pillared white stone building with four wings. There are lush, well-tended gardens and an apothecary room (2N) that has been standing since the Second Age.
The Reception Area marks the entrance to Adab Nestad and the North Wing. A sturdy, oak desk in the shape of a half-moon greets all who step through the front arch as they pass a statue of Este, the lady of rest. At the desk sits the receptionist who awaits to check-in patients and assign them to available healers. Visitors will also need to check-in at the desk.
To the left of the Reception Area lie the Archives: a classroom and library where Taidors and Healers of all levels are trained or may do research. To the right of the desk, healers will find the kitchen (11N) and the lounge, where they may relax off-duty or order prepared meals for their patients; visitors may also dine here.
The Northern Wing has 6 Treatment rooms (TR1, TR2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and 5 Recovery Rooms. The South, East and West Wings each contain 2 treatment rooms and 12 Recovery rooms.
Cottages
Surrounded by lovely gardens, sunlit woods, and majestic waterfalls, there are two dozen cottages for healers and guests that need a place to stay.
