Sigyn's district: outside the cottages

Without the constant routine of life in the Abby, Cadfael was, if nothing else, grateful for being provided with seeds and tools to start a garden-or two or three. The ground here was perfect for starting them, however late it was for the usual growing season. After some weeks being here, here, he already had some plots set and furrowed, with tiny seedlings already sprouting from the earth. Admittedly, he had helped them along the way with the 'power' granted to him by Lady Sigyn, but otherwise they seemed to be growing and thriving as they normally would otherwise-that was all that mattered. The building they called the hospital was in need of a stock of medicine, the basis of which came from various roots and herbs grown, collected and processed, and he would help them in any way he could.

Anyone with reason to go by the during the morning or later in the evening would see a stocky built, old man in plain clothes, working at a garden. With the weather and only one set of robes, Cadfael felt obligated to dress more as an ordinary man, then a monk.


Heillhaus : Frigg's district:

Whenever Cadfael wasn't in the garden or collecting plants, he was in the hospital, learning the newer techniques, sanitation, and tools. He knew about keeping tools and wounds clean, but also why wounds became infected and something called germ theory. Having to relearn over the humors wasn't easy for someone his age, but it was work that kept the brain sharp-and it did mean no one relied on bleeding nearly as much, to his relief

When he wasn't studying with the other students, he was in one of the labs, marveling at just how advanced and easier the tools and labels made everything. Some remedies still had to be made by hand of course, and he had to be careful labeling what they were and how much was required per dose.

Library: Odin's district

With most of his work taking place in the hospital, Cadfael only came to the library to read up on things that didn't have much to do with medicine, but helped a lot. Any books to do with what was called the sciences, so that the doctors wouldn't have to remind him all the time. The various diseases there were and just how the plants he worked with did help to treat them. One might have thought that such knowledge would cause him to question his faith in God, but far from it. Even the scant bit of knowledge only reminded him of how complex the will of God was, and how humans could only hope to gain such knowledge in a few hundred lifetimes and not come close.

Above all, he could be found at one of the tables, writing in one of the blank books. Now that he understood the why and how, he felt obligated to share and record what he knew of various plants and their medicinal uses.
