The Sheep's House was an orphanage on Elbaf run by the nun Carmel. It was where a young Charlotte Linlin stayed as a child 63 years ago.[1]
Overview
The Sheep's House was an orphanage where children of any race came under Mother Carmel's care from whatever circumstances that caused them to have no home of their own. The residents range from a former prince who was overthrown, a child sold into slavery due to poverty, and problem children who were abandoned by parents who could not handle them.[1]
Design and Layout
The Sheep's House is a giant, single-floored cabin. Built for the size of giants, even the windows are higher than the reach of the residents, and on the doors are smaller doors for their usage. As with the many houses of Elbaf's village, the front of the rooftop has an animal figurehead; in this case, a sheep.[1]

History
About a century ago, a nun called Carmel saved several Giants who were part of the Giant Warrior Pirates from execution by the Marines, claiming that the heavens wanted peace between the races, and that killing the prisoners would start a war with Elbaf. She then offered to take responsibility for them, and founded Sheep's House — a home for all and any lost child, regardless of race, on Elbaf as a bridge of friendship. Those act earned her the title of "Holy Mother", and her tale spread throughout the world.[1]
Thirty-seven years later, Charlotte Linlin's parents left her at the age of five years old on Elbaf after she was exiled for her uncontrollable destructive actions, and hoped that the "Holy Mother" would take her in. When Linlin arrived to Sheep's House, she was greeted by Mother Carmel, and was welcomed into the house. During Linlin stay, however, her abnormal strength and naivety put her at the center of several incidents that causes much harm to those around her, which Carmel forgave her for and asked others to forgive as well, due to her kind intentions.[1]
Ten months later, Linlin and her friend were playing in Warland Village, and she learned about the Winter Solstice. She was very excited about eating Semla, but the pre-festival fast took its toll, and while she managed to hold half of it thanks to Carmel encouragement, on the seventh day she began to rampage, demanding Semla. Gerth, a young villager and Linlin friend, ran to Sheep's House to inform Carmel of the occurrences, but the arrived to late as Carmel, Gerth and the children of Sheep's House witnessed the damage caused by her, and Jorl preparing to attack her despite Carmel plea.[1]
