Resthold

Enclave

The headquarters for House Jorasco, Resthold is a separate walled community within the city that has radically different architecture that treats the small stature of halflings as the default. In addition to top-of-the-line medical facilities, Resthold operates teaching facilities for the Healer’s Guild—while treatment at the former is pricey, services at the latter are steeply discounted and provide care for the majority of the city.

Baron Ulara d’Jorasco runs the dragonmarked house from her villa; she spends most of her day in meetings before retiring to her private library to study. She rarely travels for business meetings, preferring to send intermediaries in her place. The one thing that gets her outside the walls of Resthold are outbreaks of disease, to apply both her extensive training in treatment and her decades of public health management expertise.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of Resthold is a small, magical lake. Those who bathe in the lake at dawn become almost totally amnesiac; the waters wipe away memories but leave basic skills. Demand has increased enormously since the end of the war and the lifting of most travel restrictions. While induced amnesia is an extreme measure, it’s a mental health service that is uniquely available at Resthold and can be an appealing alternative for those who struggle to live with the shame, guilt, or other trauma of their past.

Ulara d'Jorasco rules the house from a walled neighborhood in the Karrnathi city of Vedykar. She rarely leaves her villa except when her expertise is required, but she’s far from a recluse. Advisors and functionaries come in and out of her villa in a continuous stream from sunup to sundown.

The rest of the Vedykar enclave is a series of buildings devoted to particular ailments (one for wasting illnesses, one for trauma, a well-guarded one for madness and other afflictions of mind and spirit, and so on). In the middle of the enclave is a small lake that is one of House Jorasco greatest attractions. Anyone who bathes in the lake at dawn gains almost complete amnesia, remembering only his or her name and basic life skills such as eating, walking, and speaking. The spot is popular among veterans of the Last War who experienced horrors they wish to forget, and House Jorasco commands a high price for the privilege of bathing in the lake’s waters.

Within Resthold, one can find the finest healing facilities in all Khorvaire, in addition to a training hospital, a spa for long-term convalescence, and an asylum for those who suffer from madness even magic cannot cure. Desperate individuals have been known to cross Khorvaire to seek help there; it is said that if you cannot be cured in Resthold, then nothing can save you.
