Kennels of Holfried

The Kennels of Holfried are in reality a combination of kennels, training school and dogs home. They employ a number of apprentices who have the task of roaming the streets of Holberg in search of strays. The dogs they take in are trained in a variety of roles such as guard dogs, ratters, and hunting hounds. The kennels are occasionally referred to as Georgie's House, apparently in honour of the deceased dog of the Withering Gaze, a coven of Holberg who financed the construction.
