The Commune of Aerna the Beautiful Healer is a large walled complex in the midst of a settlement. It houses about 300 and occupies over 2 acres. It is a training center for healers of Aerna, not the White Sisters (though they do teach here) but normal medics and priestesses. In addition, there are servitors of Whelm that are trained to cover the healers in battle, fending off attacks and and take down attacks on the battlefield.
A long and adorned (a few 1m tall statues) pathway leads up to it, with painted white rocks framing it.
