Allacinne

Allacinne, Matron Saint of Mercy, embodied the traditional virtues of nurturing, forgiveness, and healing. Most often, her followers are doctors, faith healers, midwives, foster parents, and the like. Her Sisters govern hospitals, orphanages, and guide the day-to-day happenings of the sermons and gatherings on Sabbath-Days.

Allacinne was the most accepting and gracious of the Father's children, and was willing to give even the most nefarious of criminals a second chance. As such, she was often at odds with her elder sister, Vilaya, who harbored a much harsher view of the world and its peoples.

Allacinne is also known as the Last Mercy and the Saint Mother.

The Sisters of Allacinne
The Sisters of Allacinne are the women most often seen by the general public. They tend the wounded in hospitals, act as midwives and orphanage matrons, establish and run soup kitchens and shelters for the poor and homeless, and establish missionary expeditions.

As advocates for the virtue of mercy, these Sisters do not carry weapons, nor do they wear armor. Rather, they trust in people and in the protection of their Saint. A Sister's training is often spent as an apprentice, and is specifically devoted to helping the less fortunate. Apprentices also clean church halls in preparation for sermons on Sabbath-Days, and ensure that the patrons arrive in an orderly and peaceful fashion.

Sisters of Allacinne are also responsible for teaching children, if a Sister of Ulria is not present. They most often teach religious doctrines, rather than secular knowledge.

Sisters of Allacinne are also depended upon to settle disputes, particularly when those involved wish to handle things in a non-violent fashion.

Allisett
This port-city on the western coast of Phila is split into two districts by the Red Hand Channel.

The North District, often called the Prime District, houses the wealthy and influential. It is clean and orderly, and was built meticulously in accordance with one of the Father's principle symbols: the pentagon. At the northernmost tip of this district is the Father's House, a celebrated cathedral built by artisans hired from the fortress-city of Longreth.

The South District houses the city's poor, and has a haphazard layout due to the residents' tendency to build wherever space is available, without thought to any sense of cohesion. Smiths, taverns, farms, and other working establishments are found in this district, as well as a boarding house for abandoned children (which doubles as the city's thieves' guild).

Connecting the two districts and crossing the channel is the Bridge of Thousands, a renowned center of trade and commerce that acts as Allisett's chief source of income and tourism. Throughout the year, merchants and performers set up tents and displays, hoping to catch the eye (and the coin) of passersby.

Allisett is run by a governor appointed by the Sisters of Allacinne, and is guarded by a unit comprised of Sisters of Vilaya.
