The Order of the Sennethis

Structure

The Order is lead by a council of the 100 oldest members, who meet in secret and write orders to the lesser monks. All monks are required to submit to the order of an older monk. There are four Houses in the Order: the Seekers, the Guardians, the Dreamers, and the Traditionalists
The Seekers:
A group devoted to the history of the realm. Every 100 years, this house sends out Seekers to learn about the shape of the world. They spend time between those expeditions reading the reports, compiling them into The Offical Histories, and printing and distributed editions to the masses.
The Guardians:
A group devoted to the protection of the Forbidden Lands. The rangers of the Guardians lead patrols across the border of the Forbidden Lands, ensuring none venture inside.
The Dreamers:
A group devoted to the search for a World Seed. They search for a way to grow a new world tree. Some memebers study the Tree of Crimson Bark to learn about it, whereas others search legends and rumors for word on a seed may be found.
The Traditionalists:
A group devoted to ensuring tradition within the Order. This House is much smaller than the other 3, composed of mostly older monks. They ensure that the traditions of the Order are passed on to each new member, and handle administration.

Culture

The Sennethis seem to honor history and culture, as they diligently send out monks to document the world every 100 years. They don't express much personality, both through their oath of silence, and through body language. If one spent a day in the temple, they would see monks moving about preforming their duties and worship to the Tree of Crimson Bark. The monks do not speak, but they do write. Older monks tend to take a long time in their responses, whereas younger monks will tend to write quickly.

Public Agenda

The Defense of the Tree of Crimson Bark, and the mapping and recording the history of the Coasts of Kunnown every 100 years.

History

The Sennethis once served the Lost Order as their vanguard. The Cleansing hit this Order worse than any other group of soldiers, more than halving their numbers and leaving the survivors with horrifying madness. After the sealing of ELLTHNFINIS the remainder of the Order entered into a contract with Ayon, Father of Absence. They were gifted with relief from thier madness, at the cost of their will. They were tasked with the defense of the Prision of ELLTHNFINIS, the Tree of Crimson Bark, and the Forbidden Lands.

  The Coasts of Kunnow

  This map was commission by Lord Evawult IV in 3000 P.C. (Post Cleansing). This map is to be updated once every century, and is considered a great event for the Temple of Crimson Bark. During this event, monks and rangers are sent out from the temple to walk the plane and document it, recording the different cultures and the shifting boundaries of nations.
