It is home to the monastic order of the same name. It is not a very strict order. Sisters are allowed to talk, although gossiping is frowned upon. Food is simple but nourishing and of good quality. Of course the nuns must work and pray hard every day, rising before dawn and going to bed with the sunset. But there is ample opportunity for sisters to perform a variety fulfilling tasks, from working in the fields to helping in the hospice or perfoming charitable works in the city. The Sisters also take in orphans, but only girls and even then they must become novitiates.This monastery is popular with ladies of quality as a refuge in times of trouble. Ladies come here when they are hiding from scandals or suffering a loss, such as the death of a family member. Some come here merely for the peace and quiet and the chance of contemplation. Even noble ladies are required to work while here, although their duties are always light, usually nothing more than embroidery. Ladies are welcome for two reasons: The nunnery gets a lot of charitable donations from noble families and thus the Abbess, Mother Superior Euphemia,f eels it is politic to provide a service for them. Also the Abbess  is keen to hear the all the gossip from the city. She herself is from a common background and thus all the more keen to hear about the scandals of the nobility.Behind the Nunnery, along it's eastern side is a field that is usually given over to hay growing but that has several high trestles for grape vines. It is popular as a spot for young men to duel. It has the duel (pardon the pun) advantages of privacy and proximity to the hospital of the Sisters.</blockquote>
