**Type:** Orphanage / Religious Charity **Base of Operations:** [[Sothis]], [[Osirion]] **Status:** Active **Overview:** The Children of the Dawnflower is a small, quietly run orphanage operating under the auspices of the faith of [[Sarenrae]]. It provides shelter, food, and basic education to children displaced by poverty, loss, or unrest along the [[Inner Sea]]. The orphanage does not seek prominence, donations from powerful patrons, or recognition from the wider clergy, relying instead on modest tithes, quiet labor, and personal funding. [[Zeph Calderon]] devoted himself to the orphanage during his years in [[Sothis]], directing the majority of his earnings and clerical work toward its continued operation. He avoided formal leadership titles and public sermons, preferring routine tasks and administrative support. The orphanage was not an attempt at redemption, nor an act of penance, but a deliberate effort to ensure that children like himself would not have to survive by chance alone. Where [[Bonewick]] taught Zeph how to endure, _The Children of the Dawnflower_ taught him how to remain. He left the orphanage behind when he fled [[Osirion]], but the habits formed there; patience, restraint, and quiet care remain with him still.
