Beacon is a small village just outside Scalvoris Town which has grown from a few houses to a small hamlet in its own right. Made up of small houses, Beacon is the home for those who are working as "Trainees" in the Cally's group of businesses, be that Cally's Restaurant, Luna's Dream Orphanage of the Scalvoris Town Soup Kitchen. Those who live here do so for a period of time where they are provided with medical care, food and clothing while they are learning a trade. In turn, they are expected to work hard, study and to share their skills both in their job and in the Beacon community. The houses are small starter homes, but they are clean and well kept. There is a central well in the middle of Beacon and the people who live there keep the small farms and gardens stocked with vegetables and fruit. A number of the residents keep chickens and the place is inevitably full and busy.
As part of the Isonomia faction, which grew out of Cally's restaurant and the charity work it does, there are guards and those available to help out. Residents of Beacon are able to go to the central office where one of the faction members is available. Repairs and maintenance are undertaken regularly and there is a central food kitchen. Residents and trainees with the skills to do so provide food, others grow the food which is prepared, yet more make and repair clothing and household linens. Carpenters, woodworkers and construction workers carry out repair and upkeep and, all in all, the community functions.
There is a house, also, where there are classes held. Basic literacy, maths, those kinds of things, but other skills for those who live here and might find them useful. It is expected that, if a trainee has a skill, they are willing to share it with the others in the place and so what is on offer depends on the skillset of those there at the time. Faction members of Isonomia often offer classes too and Faith provides medical care, with a team of others and always a few apprentices. One thing that all residents are expected to take part in are self defense classes.
Beacon started as a group of five houses, because a woman wanted to give people a chance to change their lives and, from there, it has grown into what it is to-trial.
