The Gilded Suture
Located within the prestigious inner ring of Zenbis, this two-story stone infirmary stands out with its polished basalt walls and brass-rimmed windows. The interior is divided into a high-ceilinged triage hall, several recovery wards, and three state-of-the-art operating theaters. Unlike the soot-stained streets of the industrial districts, the floors here are scrubbed to a mirror finish. Every room is permeated by the sharp, clean scent of fresh lemons, a signature of the head surgeon's obsession with hygiene.
The Gilded Suture
The air is cool and professional, carrying an almost unnerving silence that is occasionally broken by the rhythmic clinking of metal tools. It feels more like a laboratory than a place of worship, emphasizing science and precision over divine intervention.

Brimble Hyde is a man of clinical precision who treats conversation like a diagnostic report. He is professional to a fault and brutally blunt about mortality, believing that false hope is a biological toxin. While he is fiercely protective of his patients' physical well-being, he is often dismissive of their emotional needs, viewing a crying patient as a 'leaking valve.' He values data over doctrine and has zero patience for those who attribute biological recovery to divine favor rather than his own steady hands.
History
Medical Services and Costs
The Gilded Suture offers advanced care for those who can afford it. A Lesser Restoration treatment costs 260gp, while complex surgery for broken bones or internal injuries starts at 1500gp. For a 5000gp deposit, the staff can provide long-term recovery care that adds a plus two bonus to any hit dice rolled during long rests within the facility.
The Lemon Distillery
In the basement, a complex apparatus of copper pipes and glass bulbs constantly processes hundreds of lemons imported from the southern coast. This machine creates the cleaning agent Roland demands and acts as a makeshift alarm system; if the lemon scent fades, it means the ventilation has been tampered with.
Emergency Protocols
The infirmary is equipped for sieges. The heavy stone doors can be barred from the inside, and several hidden compartments in the operating rooms contain surgical scalpels enchanted with a plus one bonus, intended for use as weapons should the facility be compromised.
