Letens Orphanage begins in The Will of the Many as a stark, utilitarian refuge for the displaced, its sterile stone halls and orderly gardens masking the quiet desperation of its wards. Across the series, the orphanage transforms from a passive backdrop into an active nexus of rebellion and memory, its once-forbidden pantry kitchen and expansive yard gardens becoming sites of clandestine meetings and whispered plans. By later books, the orphanage's rigid structure is both a symbol of the Hierarchy's control and a crucible for the very resistance that will challenge it.
