Historical Architecture - part 1

In any world the size of Earth (which Ronar is, near enough) there is a lot of world to exist. You might think a city is a big place to learn, or you might think a country is a hard place to move about, imagine the number of things across an entire planet! In starting my epic campaign on Ronar, I've been inspired to work on some of the landmarks across the world.

Alladora's Orphanage

Alladora is the goddess of fertility, and of children. As such, it only makes sense that her followers will be devoted to the health and wellbeing of children. Many of them run orphanages for both the protection of children and the access to the magical energies they draw from their godess by virtue of the children being present.

The most prominent orphanage is Alladora's Orphanage, named after the goddess herself, rather than the founder as is traditional. It was founded Circa 339, after the first dragon wars and during the age of the faithless, to take in many of the children whose parents had died during the wars. Despite the absence of their goddess, the faithful of Alladora followed her tennents to build the structure at the base of Mount Fejj (currently mount Silen, the home of the gods)

In current Ronar, the main structure of Alladora's orphanage is four stories tall, and at least twice as wide and deep as it is tall. Atop it's roof, since it's founding, are smaller additions, raising the building's height another two stories. It has the capacity to hold over a thousand people, mostly children in large common rooms and bunk beds. Still, for it's age, at nearly 1,200 years old it is one of the oldest buildings on Ronar, thanks in part to it's being a temple in such an actively religious city, and part of it being constructed with the aid of powerful magics that prevent it from decaying or suffering from any of the natural wear and tear a busy building would normally suffer. It usually houses about 500 orphans from across Maxitone (currently many from the inheritance wars between Barakaan and Arianna), although the number has increased steadily over the years as the number of people in the world has done likewise.
