Considering the rather violent nature of its residents, Nyka’s Great Infirmary is constantly busy. Though disease is certainly not uncommon, most healers are better trained by experience to handle broken bones and flesh wounds. Admitting any individual without question, the healers are incredibly knowledgeable and often seem unnervingly indifferent. Most share the philosophy that medicine is as much a science as a service, and most Nykan patients are accustomed to, or even respect, this attitude. While some of the Infirmary’s workers are marked by Rak’keli, they are sure to make a display of their mutual loyalties to the Celestials. Every room and hall contains an altar to one or all of them, though they are not the mess of banners and offerings that litter homes and streets. All items are kept in neat stacks between rose petals and other scented things, meant to drown out the odors of blood and disease before the healers manage to clean it up. The inside of the Infirmary is kept as flawlessly clean as mortally possible, so as to account for all variables in any experiment. Even the main hall, where prospective patients wait to be shown a private room, follows this theme. The back rooms of the first floor are where the bulk of treatment occurs, though there are some rooms on the second floor, between offices, for special cases. Surgery chambers are all underground, to hide the noise. NPCs :
