Star's Shelter
1854AC
1854AC
For twenty five years, Star's Shelter has been the home for Osrona's wayward youth.
Across its history numerous famous, and infamous, individuals have crossed its threshold to begin their lives. It has been the home to heroes of Osrona such as the martyr Roland Hartz and the Radiant Alice Brasti, soldiers in the Silver War; home to Hollee Gelmont, a knight and trusted teacher who earned her Holy Magic under the tutelage of Chaska herself.
In its early years it was nearly home to the former Stellus Zhrani Gardios, who almost became its caretaker before her destiny took her elsewhere. A desire to help the orphans of the world bloomed under harsh struggle into a desire to support all of Osrona, becoming the matron of its priesthood for many years.
It was the home to Ayer, Odele, Noa, and Diana, a group of rising stars that made reputations for themselves in Esshar even at a young age. It was home to the Vitek Brothers, Noh. A. and Strife, who grew beyond the pain of their loss under the watchful eye of Lucas and Chaska. The Bunny Hero Endurable is counted as an outstanding example of the Shelter's righteous spirit.
The roving Feline trader Flea briefly called the Orphanage home, as did Arden Sionnach, who was like a mother to this generation of Aesirs at the Vanirhallan Settlement. Her loss remains a wound upon the family's heart, but the love and light she brought to others made her a fitting member of the Alder family.
But the Alders were known for their love of all who needed them, not merely those whose interests aligned with their own. Many people who have found darker paths got their start in the hallowed halls of the Orphanage. The love they received was no less than that of those who became heroes.
Kali Agana, Knight of the Blood Court, began as an adopted child of the Alders. Consumed by her despair in her failure to slay the vampires of Asphodel, she joined with them, much to her foster parents' sadness. They take heart that she remains alive and healthy, though they pray for her return to their family one day.
Kael Vorso Jr. was left at the door of the Orphanage by his mother, Amara. The boy was the grandson of Lucas's childhood friend Amaruq, and he was raised as his own child until the synthetic soldier Johnny Valium made an impassioned plea to take him under his wing. Sensing the truth of the robotic man's love for this child, Lucas parted with him with some sorrow, but was content in the knowledge that the boy's childhood would bring meaning to the life of a being who felt himself bereft of all hope and emotion.
Perhaps there are others as well, those who do not wish to have their names known.
Yet in a celebration of its history, there is one name that will surely come to be known well. Toriel Alder, adopted daughter of Lucas and Chaska, was raised in the Orphanage in recent years. Now that she's grown, she has begun to take on the duties of caretaker. Soon enough the Orphanage will belong to her in full.
She has many years to grow into her role, but the Alders chose her because she shares their love for the youth of Esshar.
They have high hopes for her, and they hope that she will find the same success that they have.
