410 Chapter 395

Cain takes the few minutes he needs to merge with a copy of Kone and write out the advanced Druid-only spell [Area Heal] before they leave the temple compound and head out to see the spot where the healers that come from the temple do most of their work. The building is one with a fairly average climate, though it has a smell of stone and ozone like the high mountains. The open front room has dozens of healers of various specialties assembled as well as their assistants and trainees, all getting ready for the first meetings of the morning, both here and at their patient's homes.

This is one of the professions that actually travel outside the village, visiting farmers and others who might need their help in the region, and the primary reason that the stories of the dangers of the awakened zone are told so often. Both to train their new healers in the danger of the outside world and to encourage others to act safely, to reduce the healer's workload.
