On the outskirts of Edoras, only a few minutes’ walk from the city’s bustling heart, lies a derelict farmstead. Dotted with ramshackle wooden outbuildings and overgrown meadows strewn with wildflowers, a large tent has been set up at the farmstead’s center. One of the nearby pastures is still occupied by a trio of waist-high, spoiled-looking miniature horses who crop the grass busily, or doze beneath a spreading tree. Chickens scratch about in the dirt, searching for seeds or insects, and a ginger cat lounges in an open doorway. On this particular very early morning, the air about the Infirmary still smells strongly of smoke--though the fires that ravaged Edoras did not reach this far, the scent is a sobering reminder of the night's trials.
EDORAS INFIRMARY--ALL WELCOME a sign in front of the farmstead’s central tent announces. The letters are coupled with the outline of a mortar and pestle, to indicate the tent’s function to those visitors who cannot read.
A cookfire in front of the tent is burning merrily despite the early hour, and the wholesome smell of steeping herbs rises from a pot set above the flames. On a wooden drying rack, strips of linen bandages and cotton gauze are set out to bleach once the sun has fully risen. Beside the entrance to the tent, a small table has been set up, on which rests a pitcher, washbasin and large cake of lye soap scented with lavender. BEMA WANTS YOU TO WASH UP, another sign proclaims, coupled with the hastily sketched image of two suds-covered hands.
Within the tent are two rows of tidy camp beds, partitioned off from one another by sheets draped over lengths of rope. A few are occupied, though most sit empty, waiting until such a time as they are needed. At the back of the tent, a long row of shelves has been set up, stocked with the tools of a healer’s trade—glass bottles filled with dried herbs, horse hair and steel needles, rolls of bandages, and small earthenware crocks of honey.
If you are visiting the infirmary for medical assistance, please post in blue (#0000FF), and indicate that you are a PATIENT beneath your name. A healer will be with you shortly.
If you are visiting the infirmary as a trained healer seeking a brief trade refresher course, or are an individual with no prior healer’s experience who is seeking comprehensive training, please post in brown (#804040), and indicate that you are a PROSPECTIVE APPRENTICE or APPRENTICE beneath your name. A healer will be with you shortly.
If you are at the infirmary seeking a place of temporary residence due to adverse life circumstances, please post in purple (#804080), and indicate that you are a PROSPECTIVE RESIDENT or RESIDENT beneath your name. Should you take up residence at the Infirmary, you are free to RP your daily life on the grounds within this thread, and to interact with the staff and any of the recovering patients, so long as you don't make a nuisance of yourself and keep out of the way in emergencies.
If you are at the infirmary for trade reasons, general roleplay, to visit a patient, to make non-medical inquiries, or to seek employment (as a healer or in another capacity), please post in black, and indicate that you are a VISITOR beneath your name. A healer will be with you shortly.
If you are visiting the infirmary on Cavalry-related business, please post in green (#008000), and indicate that you are CAVALRY beneath your name. Keep in mind that weapons are strictly prohibited on Infirmary property, regardless of affiliation or rank. A healer will be with you shortly.
Healers post in maroon (#BF0000), and will indicate their role beneath their name.

The Edoras Infirmary is an independent establishment that welcomes visitors from any kingdom from Middle Earth. In the interest of maintaining peace, it is the Infirmary's policy that upon arrival, ALL weapons must be relinquished to the Lead Healer. They will be kept safe and returned at your departure. NO exceptions will be made, and any who fail to abide by the rules of the Infirmary will be sedated and restrained until such a time as they can be escorted off-site. A second violation of the no weapons rule will result in a ban from Infirmary property.
Very light godmoding may be undertaken by healers at times--settling patients onto beds, leading them to locations, dispensing treatments etc. However, if a patient is in dire medical straits, confused, or unconscious, healers may be required to quickly act in their best interests without previously requesting permission.
