The Order of the Immortal Lotus

The Immortal Lotus monks wear simple, fitted black clothing under white flowing robes. The symbol of the Immortal Lotus is a white lotus inside a black circle. When operating outside the temple, the monks pass themselves off as beggars or trappers to avoid drawing attention to themselves.

Structure

The order has a simple hierarch in which Bak Mei is the elder abbot, followed by apprentices and rank and file monks. Bak Mei's trusted apprentices, Steel Crane and Jade Tigress, serve as secondary leaders who help instill in members the values Bak Mei deem most essential: obedience, discipline and tenacity in the pursuit of knowledge.

Culture

The Order of the Immortal Lotus is united under the belief the world has become sullied by war and corruption. For them, the only path is that of the lotus, a pure white flower which floats even upon the dirtiest waters.
Members of the order are responsible for acquiring knowledge through force or thievery. They are each obligated to contribute at least one new tome or scroll a month.
Inside the temple, members of the order lead structured lives, engaging in intellectual, physical and spiritual training from dusk to dawn. Bak Mei's teaching and training methods appear insane in their use of violence but are effective.
