The Least Servant

The Least Servant unknown Unknown

Centuries ago in a small town outside of Reme the capital of Alliance of Lombardia a monk, whose true name has been lost to history began founding a series of small Monasteries. He was known as a gentle yet very disciplined priest and renounced his name, titles, and wealth that legend says he would have inherited. Instead, he asked to be known as the "Least Servant" to the people around him and in the monasteries he founded. The focus of his teachings revolved around martial discipline and the breath of the divine, which he believed is imparted to intelligent beings. He taught that this knowledge of the divine was best used in the service of others and that shedding wealth and social status for the greater growth and internal journey of the soul was the key to growing closer to the divine. The Least Servant believed that this divine breath or "Ruah" could only be understood when the distractions of life's desires were controlled. And so he founded his greatest monastery in a mountain outside the small Lombardian town of Casinum. They became known as the Monks of Casinum and can be found traveling around the world on missions that only they understand, looking to serve the people they encounter and grow closer to the divine by breathing in the Ruah and focusing it into famed martial prowess. To this day almost a thousand years later, the Monks of Casinum can be found wandering the world, serving others. While they do not stay in one place long (unless they are founding a new monastery) these monks can be found doing all kinds of the most menial jobs for the lowest wages. From their position in society as menial servants, they are able to see the injustices of the world most clearly and are more than capable of acting against them on occasion as well.

Mental characteristics

Morality & Philosophy

The breath of the divine is imparted to all beings. The surest way to grow closer to the divine is to shed your concerns and simply breathe. Menial labor teaches humility, not in the sense of being humiliated, but in the sense of releasing your ego so that you may learn to be closer to the divine. Justice is never vengeance, but setting right what went wrong, and helping others find their breath as well, the secret of breath is not for you to squander by keeping it to yourself.

I am the least servant so that I can be the greatest servant.
