Founded several years before the time of the Avatar's arrival, the shelter was a Fellowship-run organisation. According to rumours, the shelter has a policy of only allowing Fellowship members. In Ultima VII, the shelter is the least popular among those to whom it should be the most attractive: the beggars of Paws. In Ultima Underworld II, Feridwyn said that the shelter, now free of the Fellowship, had problems with funding, and it remained to be seen if it could keep operating.
