A Sanctum of Shallyan Sanity at Frederheim

The Great Hospice

The Nuns of the Order of the Bleeding Heart, or the

Sisters of Shallya as they are more informally known, is

one of the largest groupings of the faithful within the

Shallyan priesthood. Members of the order may be found

throughout the Old World working with the poor and sick,

sometimes alongside male followers of Shallya. Most

members however are stationed at one of the many

hospices that are scattered throughout the Old World.

These Hospices are large hospital-monasteries, estates

that are dedicated not just to the worship of Shallya, but

also to the practical arts of healing. Some of the hospices

deal in general healing and take any patient who comes

to them in need; others specialize in particular ailments

and conditions, and draw their patients from all over the

Old World. The hospice at Seuchenshof in Nordland, for

example, specializes in the treatment of the Black

Plague, while the one at Frederheim in the Reikland

specializes in the treatment of insanity.

murdered by a von Carstein assassin and his elder

brother was found issuing decrees to an electoral

assembly which consisted entirely of potted plants.

Despite dwelling in a dark time of a divided empire, ever

threatened by the forces of the Vampire Counts,

Eberhardt expended a great deal of time and money,

much of it his own, on improving public health in the

Reikland's towns and cities. He was especially interested

in the causes of madness, and as soon as the newly

endowed hospice was built he sent local militias scouring

the towns and countryside for lunatics to occupy it.

Eberhardt hoped that by studying lunatics a cure might

be found for madness, but the Sisters of Shallya placed

the well-being of their patients above any academic

priorities, and no startling progress has been made.

The Great Hospice of Frederheim continues to receive

financial support from the crown, but this has reduced

drastically over the years. For the last century the

Hospice has relied on “donations” (they refuse to call

them fees), from the families of their more wealthy

patients. No one has yet been turned away.

Frederheim

The village of Frederheim lies not far from the point

where the highway from Altdorf forks for Middenheim and

Delbertz. It is a tiny, undistinguished place of seventy five

or so souls who typically scratch a living from simple

farms, selling what little they over produce directly to the

Hospice. Despite being situated just off the busy Altdorf

to Middenheim road, few people ever stop here, although

there is a quiet Four Season coaching inn situated on the

road. Few maps even bother to record Frederheim’s

position, even though it is a part of the Imperial estates.

The locals are reluctant to talk about the Hospice, not

because of any disrespect to the Sisters, but from simple

fear that the madness that haunts the place is infectious,

just like any other plague.

Sworn statements by two physicians are necessary

before a patient can be admitted here. In the case of poor

patients who cannot afford a physician, Sister Margaret

will provide one signature and Sister Marie the other.

Once admitted, a patient remains in the care of the

hospice until he is demonstrably cured (which is rare),

until he dies, or until his family, if any, instructs otherwise.

The Hospice is a nunnery of Shallya and the whole area

counts as Consecrated ground. There are certain rules

which must be observed by all those visiting. No

weapons or armour are permitted to be carried inside the

grounds and neither are any magic items that are not

obviously dedicated to Shallya. Items such as these must

be kept under lock and key for the whole duration of the

visit; and one of the Sisters keeps the key. No violence of

any kind is permitted within the walls of the Hospice and

Visitors must do as they are asked by the staff at all

times.

Past Frederheim, but not quite through it, runs a dirt road,

linking the Great Hospice to the Altdorf road. The turning

is not marked by a post or milestone, and is easy to miss

if you are not sure of your way. Despite appearances, the

road is capable of handling coach traffic and winds

through the dark forest for two or three miles until the

high, grey walls of the Great Hospice suddenly loom out

of the trees.

Violation of these rules and any other breach of common

courtesy will result in the miscreant being asked to leave

immediately. Anyone refusing to leave can expect severe

repercussions, although typically not from the Cult of

Shallya itself. Trespassing on the nunnery grounds is a

serious offence, as the land is the property of the

Emperor himself. In particular the Reiksguard make it a

point of honour that they ensure that no one ever

trespasses on the Emperor’s land twice.

The Hospice

The Great Hospice was founded in 2243 by a grant of

land and money from Eberhardt the Just, who was then

Emperor of the Reikland. A postulant priest of Shallya

himself, Eberhardt suddenly had the leadership of the

House of Holzkrug thrust upon him when his father was
