In the wake of the pandemic, the importance of robust healthcare had never been clearer to the people of Ebonwood. Lord Simha, guided by his past experiences and knowledge, embarked on a mission to transform the village's approach to medicine and healing.
"**Health is the cornerstone of a thriving community,**" Simha addressed the Council of Elders. "**We must establish a sanctuary of healing, where the sick can be treated with the wisdom of both old and new.**"
The first step was the creation of a healing center, a place where the village's healers could practice and expand their craft. Simha envisioned a facility that combined the herbal remedies of the beastkin with the scientific methods he had learned as Satoru.
"**We will train our healers in the art of diagnosis, in understanding the body's cries for help,**" Simha explained. "**We will equip them with tools and knowledge to treat not just the symptoms, but the root of the ailment.**"
The healers, once isolated in their individual practices, now came together under one roof. They shared their knowledge of herbs and potions, while Simha introduced them to the principles of hygiene and disease prevention.
"**Cleanliness,**" Simha emphasized, "**is as important as any herb. We must keep our healing center a bastion of purity, where illness finds no harbor.**"
As the healing center took shape, Simha introduced a system of healthcare for all villagers. A small contribution from the trade earnings ensured that no one would be turned away for lack of coin. The health of Ebonwood's people was paramount, and Simha was determined to safeguard it.
"**Let this center be a healer's touch for Ebonwood,**" Simha declared as he cut the ribbon to the new facility. "**A touch that brings comfort, healing, and hope.**"
The chapter closes with the villagers gathering at the healing center, their faces etched with relief and gratitude. The healers, their hands dedicated to the art of mending, worked with renewed purpose. Ebonwood had faced death and emerged stronger, its heart beating with the pulse of a community united in health and harmony.
