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.
The first mission included the following people:
- Sister Jasmine Foster (heading the mission)
- Sister Narcisa de la Joya, artist
- Sister Xiomara de la Joya, artist
- Sister Romilla Lorenzo, calligrapher and historian
- Note here about early Eldritch involvement in the abbey.
Chatcaavan War
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.
Where Laniis Baker, Na'er, Lisinthir Nase Galare, Sediryl Nuera Galare, and Amber Seni Galare met.
- Note here about Amber coming here while searching for Beth.
- Note here about the abbey helping Whole Galactic Charities with the Chatcaavan harem flight.
Appearance
Original
Modern
A stone building with a steeple surrounded by many smaller buildings and overrun with children, adults, geese and chickens and things more alien than either but occupying the same niche. Rough-hewn stones, farm animals, the world shut out--"beneath the bustle there was a serenity, the way a noisy stream could still tranquilize the person drowsing alongside it in the sun." [1]
It's tucked into the lee of a wood, and "had a structure that could have come from his homeworld’s earliest architecture, with a dome of solid stone supported by thick walls and flat buttresses." Has catacombs. [2]
There is one computer in the entire abbey, embedded in the abbot’s room upstairs. [3]
Customs
Sisters and Lay people
While anyone can serve at the abbey, the sisters are required to be part of the Order. All the people who work at the abbey wear plain brown robes with cowls.
Food
- amazing cider
- hard white cheese, honeycomb, dense brown bread
