The Resilient Brothers
The Resilient Brothers are a powerful group of male monks who train as fighters, scholars and medics. To strengthen their minds and bodies, they have taken upon themselves the most powerful of runes and read many tomes. They are feared among those of Malnax monks and many others. They are said to train within the Resilient City in an unknown locations - believed to be on the FLoating Island.
The official attire of the Resilient Brothers is a parchment-colored, hooded robe that is belted at the waist. Novice Resilient Brothers usually wear plain robes, while those who have advance in the Brotherhood have intricate runic designs and decorative Marks in blood red ink along the cuffs and hems.
They are the keepers of the lore and knowledge of fighting and healing. Officially, they are researchers, scholars, doctors, monks, fighters and healers. To aid them in their work, the Silent Brothers, much like the Iron Sisters, possess Rune marks. These runes grant them access to the strange magic, and are thus mostly hidden and kept secret from others.
It is said, the Highest of their Order are able to leave no footprints, do not cast shadows, do not move their mouths to speak, and need not sleep. Those Highest of Resilient Brothers speak through people's minds. To strengthen their minds, these Resilient Brothers mutilate their appearance, such as stitching their eyes and mouth. Others even simply have these removed entirely from their face, leaving blank spaces where their flesh once was—this is more permanent and irreversible, and is considered the most devout and High members.
They know many things - and seek to learn all.
