The city of Lady's Rest has a history lost in legends. Local folklore say that one of the Empyrean goddesses - the modern version claims it was Kaedlah, but evidence suggests it has been claimed to have been others in previous centuries - was badly wounded in some battle she fought. She struggled out of the ocean, where her divine foe cast her, and she struggled to shore at the confluence of two rivers, where a number of fishing huts stood. The legend says the people did not know she was a goddess, but gave her shelter and food anyway, caring for her wounds as best they could. When she departed, she lay a blessing on the folk there, promising them prosperity so long as they would continue to care for one another and for strangers.

In the time since, the city has grown, but has remembered its founding. Lady's Rest is well-known for its physicians and hospitals, and for its houses of the poor and orphans. The Sovereign Military and Hospitaler Order of the Crossroads also maintains a great structure here, the Great Hospital where they both treat the ill and injured for free while using that opportunity to teach their students the healing arts.
