Location The Healing Hoof

[Meadow]

The Healing Hoof Residing not far from the River Flower is a large beautiful white tent. Neighing, barking, meowing, and even chirping can be heard coming from inside. Serving as the sister business of the River Flower, The Healing Hoof stands ready to heal the animal companions of the Drykas. Two sets of pavilion ankals run the business. One leader from the Amethyst clan, Balen Grasshoof, and one leader from the Opal clan, Denhar Tenderbloom, work hand in hand to help the all the companions and livestock within the city. Horses are given precedent over other animals with striders always coming first. After the equine come the hunting companions, beasts of burden, then finally the pavilion pets. The same care is given to all animals, but with a driven purpose comes a pecking order to the care. There are few specialized vets that travel from pavilion to pavilion working with the herds in different clans. Vets will often go see clients if the injured equine cannot make it to the business. Entering the tent one will see just a few high tables in the back and to the far left side. Right in front of the entrance is a large open area that can stand two striders at one time along with at least two vets. The tables on the left wall are used an a sort of exam area for the hunting companions and heard animals that are brought in. The few tables in the very back are used as a medicine area. The vets and assistants use them to make salves and powdered medicine for the animals. Under which is a few chests, one holds the powered medicine; the other holds empty jars and a few scrolls holding recipes and notes. Inside of the tent has very little seating. Any owner wishing to stay and wait are shown to a open covered area beside the business.
