Order of the Envoy Organization in Nailara | World Anvil

Order of the Envoy

The Order of the Envoy is a monastic order devoted to finding spiritual enlightenment by shedding their sense of self and joining the energy that across all living creatures. In pursuit of this goal, they train their bodies and minds to perfection through philosophical discussions, asceticism, meditation, and physical training.   Many of the order believe that The Kanemi is an embodiment of their spiritual goals, and see joining the Kanemi as achieving enlightenment. They act as the god's servants and host the hivemind in their monasteries to aid it in its goals on the mortal plane.

Structure

The order has no formal titles, ranks, or roles. Though there are surely spiritual guides and organizational leaders, the act of designating and titling such people is seen as contrary to the order's goals. Newer monks that are still in need of guidance are often tasked with serving the monastery community in various ways, but otherwise its oldest members are treated no differently than any others.   When decisions that affect the entire monastery are made, most look to their spiritual guides and discuss what can be done. Such decisions tend to be made slowly, and thoroughly pondered.

Assets

The order's first monastery in Sinelikara is said to be a grand, incredible place at the heart of the old mountain city. The oldest monasteries on Aisoa tend to be near the southern coast, in Ammalion, though there are several large monasteries in the far north in Nores.

History

The Order of the Envoy is incredibly old organization, dating back to roughly 500 EC. It was originally founded on the continent of Uketh, in the city of Sinelikara.
