Elder Caste
None are sure who Elder Caste actually is or what her past was before founding the Monastery of Flowers alongside Elder Tai Shan.
Some claim she found enlightenment at the side of The Dread King and others claim she meditated amongst a field of the dread kings undead to find truth and light amidst the dark of the kings reign.
Irregardless, now Elder Caste is viewed as a symbol of wisdom and thoughtful spirituality. They are also the only person known to beat Tai Shan in single combat.
Elder Caste is a bald human who still looks young despite being the founding member of the monastery 74 years ago and is incredibly good shape, she has a pair of small batons that she fights with and is peaceful of mind.
The parties interactions with Elder Caste showed that she was a character obsessed with the philosophy of enlightenment and joy through isolation and that she built the Monastery of flowers as an embodiment of that principle so that she could find companions in isolation, a level of hypocrisy matching her character and determination to be right.
Caste zealously protected her ideals and Monestary from the perceived 'invasions' of the Petals and Persicorum. She is also the one responsible for killing Elder Tai Shan and Long-Stride due to their shifts in beliefs and desire to reshape the monestary. However, upon speaking with Kodo and Mimsi, she agreed to give the monestary 24 hours of freedom for it's members on the condition that persicorum leave and she is not forced to kill them as well.
Kodo had discovered that Elder was a key of The Untethered but the party soon learned that she no longer had that link with the entity, though they are unsure how that relationship ended.
