	'''Xenian waystations''' are a type of lodging for travelers commonly maintained by the temples and priests of the [[Hellean pantheon\|Hellean gods]]. They are found across the [[Hellea\|Hellean peninsula]], in large cities, small towns, and in the wilderness alike, as well as in parts of [[Thadria]] as far east as the [[Casabon River]], though most are west of the [[Tanerde Strait]]. Travelers crossing these regions frequently make heavy use of the waystations to lessen their expenses and plan their route when journeying long distances.

	Those who run Xenian waystations do so to provide safe housing to all, with no questions asked as to their intentions, origin, or destination. They provide food and a place to sleep to all visitors, though the quality of both can vary widely depending on local conditions - one supported by a major temple in a prominent Hellean city-state will have much nicer beds and meals than one in the hinterlands of the peninsula worked by a single cleric. In exchange for their unquestioning assistance, the waystations are entirely neutral in all conflicts and disputes, safe places even in times of war and strife. The single exception in who the waystations will provide for is soldiers, but they keep this restriction purely to maintain their neutrality. ~~Likewise~~, nearly all require weapons to be surrendered for the duration of one's stay.
