Asphodel

The Asphodel are peaceful monks that inhabit the industrial ruins, making their monasteries in the shells of ancient warehouses and factories that they've turned into places of quiet contemplation. They are introspective and quiet by nature, and often meditate for hours in silence, seemingly unaware of the world around them. The typical Asphodel is almost always quiet, only speaking when prompted; their view of the world and their place in it is one of gentle harmony, and as such they are not easily driven to extreme displays of emotion.
Despite their gentle nature, the Asphodel are well-versed in combat. Their monastic practices involve extensive physical training, and an Asphodel monk can defend themselves handily. Asphodel on pilgrimage are capable fighters, and many practice a fighting style that some describe as a flowing dance of many tiny blows. They are slow to anger, however, and only resort to violence when absolutely necessary, as it often is in the wastes- conversely, they are quick to defend their own and will mercilessly subdue threats to their friends and traveling companions.
