| ==Micah's Stand Wayhouse==
| |
| When [[Reikos]] was freed from the [[Druj]], and the vile citadel of ''Urith Barath'' was torn down, the Navarr and Highborn worked together to translate the herbals claimed from the Stone Toad sept. Since then, there have been Navarr living around, and caring for, the [[Gardens of High Chalcis]]. When the [[Keeper_of_the_Last_Battle#Last_Battle_Wayhouse|Last Battle Wayhouse]] was built in [[the Barrens]], the [[steading]] of ''Micah's Stand'' - a small group devoted to the memory of the Highborn who welcomed them in – suggested that a [[Navar wayhouse|wayhouse]] be built in eastern Reikos. Among other things this would allow the Navarr of Therunin to live close to their home whilst still being relatively safe from the Druj.

| Several of the larger [[chapter|chapters]] of [[Reikos#Chalcis Mount|Chalcis Mount]] supported the plan. Micah's Stand, and others like it, had proved excellent neighbours, and they well remember the suffering of knowing that your home is under the terror of the Druj. The proposed building cost a little more than usual, but attracted skilled Navarr herbalists. The exchange of skills with the citizens who tend the Gardens of High Chalcis benefits the Empire directly, increasing the bounty of herbs delivered to the [[Benefactor of High Chalcis]].

| The Wayhouse itself is an open and welcoming building surrounded by beautiful gardens dedicated both to the cultivation of herbs and to presenting plants from all corners of the Empire. Wherever a Navarr striding passes, they bring back cuttings and seeds to Micah's Stand and the gardeners find a way to help the plants prosper. Walking through the gardens provides a sense of just how grand and diverse the Empire is, and how wide the world has become. Visitors of all nations speak of this as a sobering, inspirational experience.

| As well as providing the usual benefits of a wayhouse, Micah's Stand also serves as a place for [[surgical skills#Physick|physicks]], [[Surgical skills#Apothecary|apothecaries]], herbalists, and adepts of healing magic - especially magicians of the [[Silver Chalice[[ - to meet and share their expertise with one another. A number of the healers who escaped the fall of [[Therunin#Peakedge Song|Peakedge Song]] - Highborn, Navarr, and [[Great Forest Orcs]] alike, have taken up permanent residence here to suport the business of the wayhouse.
