The House of Peace is the most important temple dedicated to Chalana Arroy in Jonstown. The House of Peace is the second main reason (after the Unknown) nobles and important people from all over Sartar make the journey to Jonstown offering gifts and donations.
What began with a donation from Prince Sartar, a small shrine to the goddess and a healer’s room in a nearby house, has grown into a more significant hospital than the size of the city could suggest.
The main hospital is a rectangular stone building consisting of four cloistered wings surrounding a central courtyard. Its lofty pillars and high gabled windows let the healing winds sweep out sickness and disease. Three of the wings are the hospital’s wards, differentiated by ailment, the fourth houses the simple cells of four score initiates and more than twenty healers.
The hospital is an important teaching institution and many of Glorantha’s most famous healers learned the secrets of healing here.
The wards and quarters are much alike. Both have communal rooms that are entered on warm fireplaces that keep the chill from the air during cold winter, and both have cells that give both privacy and isolation to patients with infectious complaints.
The treatment regime focuses on a healthy diet and exercise as well as intervention. Walking patients take healthy, vegetarian meals alongside the staff in the refectory. The central courtyard provides relaxation, fresh air, and an herb garden.
The House of Peace is completely impartial in the conflict between the Sartarites and the Lunars. It treats both sides with equal compassion and mercy.
