Rosepetal Orphanage

Rosepetal Orphanage for the Less Fortunate was the largest orphanage in Felonil and later Halcyon, and indeed the largest in the Western Danderillon. It was established in the 1430s.
It lay on the north side of the park known as Edhellan Common, sandwiched between the warehouses in the industrial district. It spanned a footbridge whose archway was the northern exit of the park. It was converted from a bankrupt boarding school on the left, the empty clock footbridge, and a natural gas warehouse on the right which went out of business as cheaper, safer forms of light became popular.
The Matron Mother of the orphanage in the late 1400s, when the infamous sailor and anti-hero Soot grew up there, was a dwarven woman named Gwendolyn Stone-Forge. 
In 1522, Edward Loveridge won the deed to the orphanage in a drunken gambling game with the landlord. He was going to sell it to Luca Calinezzi for profit, but the West Marchers bought it off of him to ensure it would remain open. 
It was connected to the Felonil Communications phone line system under Ironheath 8657, which is a now-obsolete district name.
