The Sha-Tyrlak

The Sha-Tyrlak a group of watcher-like monks. they take extreme vows and must follow them to a tee, but are though the ways of martial arts and have accsess to a great number of allies. They serve as guardians of those of lost battles, advocating for those who either have done wrong and none will speak for them, or those who face odds that cannot be overcome. thier most imporntant oath is one that makes them swear not only to not lying, but to absolute truth, hoever harmful it may be. for this reason they are despised, and thrown out of many nations.

Mythology & Lore

the tales told by the Sha-Tyrlak say as follows "When Tyr grew fond of a spisicfic bloodline of humans in Ufanium, he appered to them, and asked them for a favor. in return, he would grant them the ability to see though lies and decit with ease. this request, however, was to help him in one of his domains. he was afraid that the realms of men had become too disparaging of the lost, sometimes never batting an eye to the "criminals" who had too much evidence pointed towards them. He aslo gave the leader of this family, a name of Sha, a set of rules that they would follow."
