Resting Room Location: Gavial conked out on the doorstep of her recently acquired home when the Advocate put everyone to sleep, and she was moved upstairs to the bedroom once discovered.
Description: Her once-sparse bedroom reflects the oddly opposed interests she was largely known for. Those who knew originally knew her as a boisterous lover of fighting with a penchant for collecting weapons sought to seek her favor in that vein, leaving various blades as tribute, which over the years became traditional offerings for those wishing to seek strength. On the other hand, visitors seeking the favor of good health from the slumbering doctor would leave offerings of some of the medicinal plants she often tended to in the gardens. This leads to the odd dichotomy of steel hung up upon the walls and flowering plants set up along her bedside.
Purpose: Those who had originally helped set Gavial’s sleeping form up in her resting room had been a few people who had recognized her from her frequent work with the Gilden Academy. When others there got word of it, it soon became a stop for students of the Academy to both seek good fortune in their studies of medicine and hopefully inspire the Shard-bearer’s further work for Zenith once she awoke. Eventually there became a growing crowd of those who saw her strength as inspirational, who would stage impromptu fighting matches right there in the front yard every few years in the hopes that such excitement might entice the Shard-bearer to wake up and join in. Needless to say, the two groups often butted heads, but neither were willing to back down to let the other take the lead with things there.
Over the years, visits broadly tapered off to just a small and dedicated group with the occasional yearly spike around the Academy’s exam time. The two sects of followers that remained eventually put aside their differences and opted to follow in the footsteps of Gavial’s free-spirited desire to help people by using the rest of her home to set up a base for an independent emergency medical response team. In the last few years leading up to the end of The Repose, they’ve obtained a Zenitec vehicle to use as an ambulance of sorts to get them to places to provide on-site first aid (and break up any remaining altercations in progress) or ferry more serious cases over to Gilden’s hospital.
Caretaker(s): Originally cared for by a couple of familiar faces from the Academy, these doctors eventually left the task up to their families once they got older. As the long years wore on, those who camped out at her place took up the task of caring for her along with the rest of their self-imposed duties.
