The Order of the Balm of Joy is a celibate, female order of the church of Peoni. The mother house is located in Thay and is also the residence of the Peonian primate of Hârn. There are subsidiary temples in Aleath, Coranan, Cherafir and Tashal, as well as hundreds of unmanned roadside shrines dotted throughout civilized Hârn. The sisters of the order are beloved and welcomed by common farming folk of good heart. Each temple has an infirmary, open to anyone of reasonable morals, on a pay as you can basis. The sisters spend most of their labours among the people, providing comfort and healing. The order abhors violence; most members would die themselves rather than cause suffering. The sisters tend to be ascetic vegetarians but there is no rule to this effect. The Irreproachable Order, is the fraternal male equivalent of the Balm of Joy.
