Monasteries of the Seven Peaks
These monks train specifically in the Seven Peaks region of the Gologian Range. They practice and hone their arts up in the mountains, akin to the Monasteries of Brin Balo. The monasteries here are relatively close, some monks even inventing special gliders to travel easily between them. They believe the high elevation is essential to their connection to the High Above (deities, usually Dyahvahna). It is important to note that all who enroll to the Seven Peaks are monks, just not Seven Peak monks.
Many come to learn and few stay. Those that do are rewarded with benefits and incredible power over themselves. Becoming a Monk of the Seven Peaks lures many on the formidable journey. Those that complete the trials and decide to leave take a piece of the monastery with them, in both a figurative and literal sense. In Seven Monastic outlook, they see their mission complete once every monastery has been torn down, as then there would be no need for them to continue teaching since all their students would be teaching the world. As of now, there are several rooms in the monasteries that are open to the elements due to this. Only one full room has been demolished.
Public Agenda
Monks set to open the eyes of people to the wonders of the spiritual world. They also strive others to adhere to an ascetic life if not temperance itself. They do not convert like paladins or clerics, but merely guide through meditation. They attest they can remove poison from the body, forego sleep, and other wonders.
Bodies be gone, Heavens we long, Seven but one
