An abbey on Sharsenne, known for its excellent cider. Where Laniis Baker, Na'er, Lisinthir Nase Galare, Sediryl Nuera Galare, and Amber Seni Galare met.
History
The first buildings were erected by a mission headed by Sister Jasmine Foster and her three sisters, part of the order of St Jasmine of the Stars, in 162 BA, about three years after the world was opened to Pelted/human visitors and settlers by the Chatcaava. Originally located near the town of Dilly, the mission's purpose was to aid women and children, and enable the safe flight of refugees from injustice. It burned down (exact date) later, and was rebuilt in its new location, where it has been since.
At the time of the Chatcaavan War, the Abbey was around 318 years old, and was on its 22nd Jasmine. (All the abbesses are named Jasmine.) [1] The abbesses tend to turn over quickly, due to the dangers of their mission.
