Aeonic Monastery
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Where the stars circle and silence is whole, there we listen. Where fire and ice meet, there we walk. Between war and peace, life and death, order and freedom—we do not choose. We preserve the tension, for the tension is divine.The Aeonic Monastery , is a monastic order located in south-east of The White Lands of Bafigron. The Aeonic Monastery is the original sanctum of discipline and balance from which the four greatest monk orders of Theras were born and at its core, hold 4 fundamental beliefs:
The Doctrine of Equilibrium
All forces, whether they are order and chaos, creation and destruction, emotion and detachment, must remain in motion and tension. Aeonic monks do not eliminate suffering or pleasure, but prevent one force from dominating and unraveling the cosmic force.The Law of Reflection
The Monks are like mirrors of the world’s disorder. If anger rises, they respond with calm. If stagnation festers, they become the storm. This is not reaction - it is calibration. Every motion should be precise, measured, and purposeful.The Path of Silence
Only in stillness can one hear the pulse of the universe. Silent contemplation is essential to hearing the Aeonic Pulse the name given to the ineffable rhythm of all things. Meditation is not retreat - it is alignment.The Echo Principle
All actions resonate through the spheres. Aeon monks are trained to see the longest arc of consequence, from this life to the next, from this breath to the celestial cycle. This foresight demands restraint, patience, and unshakable clarity.Mantras
These mantras are whispered in meditations, chanted in rituals, or carved into temple walls of the monsasteries and abodes:- As the world turns, I still remain - Chanted during times of turmoil in order to center the soul in their own cosmic perspective.
- One force begets another, but I am the fulcrum - Used before combat or judgment, invoking balance over victory.
- Let not the spark devour the field, nor the field drown the spark - A warning against excess in any form—emotional, magical, or martial.
- The Aeon does not strike—it corrects - Recited before a blow is dealt, especially in duels or missions of justice.
History
The Aeonic Monastery, claim to be the 'spiritual' inheritors of the Sarenraenesim Dynasty, but, they do know hold their dogma.
In the year 435 BB, when the lands of Bafigron were being overrun by trolls, the last master, Klinter the Last Tortle, took it to Ara-Taj and rebuilt it there. From there and under his guidance, this order became the parent of 4 other orders: VCZXCZXCZXCZXZXC
The Splinter
The divergence happened during a climactic event known in legend as the Breaking of Balance, when philosophical conflict among the monastery's four most promising disciples led to a profound schism. Each monk, though deeply loyal to the original teachings, interpreted the principles of body, mind, and spirit through vastly different lenses - cultural, elemental, and martial. Each disciple journeyed to a distant part of the world to forge their own monastic order, tailored to the lands and peoples they encountered. Over time, their legacies evolved into the four famed Orders of the Splintered Path.
