Monastic Order

Monastic orders are institutions dedicated to gods. Although formed around an idea of disciplined contemplation of the divine, they serve a variety of functions, usually providing medical services and education for the community and facilitating scholarly work. A member of a monastic order is called a monk, regardless of gender.

 * The Order of Years to Eras, dedicated to Ai-An, studies historical texts. Their monasteries often resemble libraries.
