The urchins […] seem genuinely afraid […]

There are adults kept there […] whose parents were murdered permanently to make them eligible. People who offend the Masters. And […] Monsters[…]

[…] Hephaesta needs to speak with you […] in Veilgarden.

The urchins are terribly frightened of the Orphanage. There are not only children there, but adults who offended the Masters, and monsters. The place is hidden in a maze and is almost impossible to find and enter without a dirigible.
