The Happy Hearts Home was Alterra's largest orphanage. It had dozens of children and minors under its care.
It was being funded directly by the territory, and it boasted of policies and facilities that would allow the children to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy even without their parents.
Many better-off territories and villages actually had a version of this. However, those kids were raised with the expectations that they'd be serving the leading family, or whoever sponsored its creation in the first place.
So, in other territories, orphans were generally relegated to becoming maids or guards. They were raised to be servants, fed just enough, clothed just enough, but trained harshly. They were thankful for the care—rightfully so—even if the patron had a lot of underlying motives for doing it.
