Background
One of the larger abbeys on Caedellium, Saint Sidryn’s has members from three of the four orders: the Medicant Order, Theophist Order and the Scholastic Order. The Militant Order was not represented at the abbey. The Medicant Order was more represented than the other two orders because the abbey was the main medicant treatment and training facility for the Clengoth district, an area twenty miles across. The other orders such as the Theophist Order ministered to people in the nearby town of Abersford. Members of the Scholastic Order focused on various scholastic focuses. The abbey also served as a rehabilitation center for some individuals under probation due to criminal activity.

Leadership
Leading the three orders represented at the abbey is the current Abbot Cestian Beynom. He is also the formal leader of the Theopist Order at the abbey. His wife Diera Beynom leads the Medicant Order as Chief Medicant for the district. Leadership of the Scholastic Order is less defined as each Scholastic has each their own areas of study & expertise.

Innovations

Or the novel treatment methods they have recently discovered like the c-section and proper disinfection of facilities & instruments.
