Senasi

The Senasi are an organisation dedicated to health and healing in the Anrel Isles. They are one of the Hexact Orders, advocating for health in national politics. Senasi order members are healers and physicians, tending to the sick and providing health advice throughout the islands. They wear white, and their healing houses are found in all major towns and cities.

They are named after the First House of the Order, which was established in the city of Thenar in Northland. The order is an open one: both men and women may join, they travel freely, and there are no requirements of celibacy or worship. Members commonly live in order houses, but married members often live in the community. The only restriction is that members may only practice in order houses, not operate from their own homes.

Senasi are hospitable to travellers, and offer simple lodgings to poor travellers in return for a few alms, or in exchange for menial duties. Senasi journeymen are expected to travel widely to distant towns and villages, tending to the sick in remote places. During this time they gather depth of knowledge, patience and experience, before choosing a particular House for the rest of their days, or for as long as they see fit.

Senasi do not charge a fee for healthcare, but patients and their families are expected to contribute what they can, according to their needs. Senasi houses also make revenue from selling healing preparations, and from land owned by the order.
