Orphanage

Overview

The Redhaven Orphanage is located in the Outer Marston Swamps. It is run by Mrs. Ardbegger, or "Mother" as the children of the orphanage call her. The building was originally a tavern until its foundation was deemed too insecure by the owner. The tavern keeper sold the building to House Ardbegger about thirty years ago. It now harbors at least two dozen children aged 9-13.

Investments

Once the MC has a sufficient amount of power (Power Value 20+), Mrs. Ardbegger will offer to go into business with him. This takes the form of upgrades to the orphanage which the MC can pay for. These will improve their standing with the Orphanage and will make money for the orphanage, which the MC will receive a share of. The MC will then also have the option of donating food to the orphanage - 200 Rations will produce +100 Influence for the MC in return. These food donations may also increase the MC's Standing with the orphanage, which may increase his investment returns.
