	The Abbey is modelled somewhat after the [[Lady_of_the_Proffered_Hand#House_of_the_Proffered_Hand\|House of the Proffered Hand]] in [[Astolat]]. Built in [[Necropolis#Fishguard\|Fishguard]], not far from Myfanwy's Rest, the Abbey itself is a modest structure, in contrast to the extensive gardens that surround it. There are quarters for the Abbess, should they wish to avail themselves of them, as well as for a small staff of teachers and staff. It's common practice for those who live at the Abbey to work in the herb gardens, in between learning about the Empire and the Way. A small village has sprung up near the Abbey, home to a number of former refugees who have chosen to remain to support the work of the Abbess of Reconciliation. It has become a regular stopping-off point for Navarr travellers, who regularly bring with them small numbers of recent arrivals in the Empire who they think would benefit from the aid the Abbey has to offer.

Following the guidance of Tabris, Son of Armisael, then [[Bishop of the Navigators]], they agreed to show their gratitude by supporting the Abbess of Reconciliation both by volunteering at the abbey, and by making small donations of liao from their own congregations each season.
