They say that if you follow the highway found somewhere between New Bethlehem and the much smaller settlement of Kynesberg, that you'll find an old city from long before The Great Distortion. Its buildings still mostly intact despite the meat moss creeping along the sides and some of the doorknobs propensity to stare at you as you pass. Husks, Grotesques, and Horrors seem to not visit the place...or at the very least they don't visit it and survive. But if those were the only notable things about this place, it would simply be an exceptional if not terribly rare example of post-distortion landscapes. Perhaps an ideal place to set up a new settlement.
No, the hospital is what draws the attention of some who opt to wander the undying land.
Why? Because despite the mostly empty state of the surrounding area, Saint Dorlein's Hospital seems noticeably cared for in comparison. Clean windows, half-attempts to clear the moss from the walls, a big scary walker mech out front...
(Ah, that might be a little alarming for most...)
But you, vous, you don't have to worry about that. Because whether or not you've done so by choice, you've approached the hospital from behind. Whoever's out there in that big tin can, they can't see you yet! Behind the hospital is what can generously be described as a fence, materials in all manner of oblong shapes keeping what was once the courtyard safe. The sounds of laughter and play seems to indicate that it still serves it's intended purpose. From a particularly large gap in the fence, you can see a man with easily the longest blonde hair you've ever witnessed. Metal wings on his back, glinting even in the overcast afternoon light, seem to imply this...might be League of Chokhmah territory? Maybe? He's pushing what looks to be a young undead girl in a wheelchair, her legs digitigrade and her head covered in far too many eyes.
...The amount of time it takes for him to notice you is kinda alarming! It's like the moment you finish taking in this scene, he makes eye contact with you. But instead of getting hostile, he simply smiles.
"Oh! Would you look at that, Ghee! It seems like we have a visitor today, isn't that lovely?"
He coos to the girl sweetly, several other undead can be seen doing various activities around the courtyard.
"Why don't you come a little closer and introduce yourself, hm?"
<!--Abraham sees no reason to be inherently hostile towards vous at the moment. But if vous tries anything that would put Abraham and his precious undead at risk, he has no qualms with calling Hugo to come take care of things. Hugo is at the front of the hospital, and will respond pretty promptly if called.-->
