The Greenstone Monks

The Greenstone Monks are a sect of monastic healers based out of the Iron Mountains. They practice their healing and merciful arts using the mystical power of greenstone, a solid green crystal that glows softly in darkness. It isn't often that a monk leaves the monastery, but when they do, their healing powers are unmatched by any throughout the land. The monks maintained a strict distance from the kingdom politics, instead preferring to act for their own interests. This continued for some time until the Kchernok Earldom took offense at their unwillingness to submit to their power and, after the monastery began expanding their influence across the mountains, set out to dominate the monastery for their own political purposes. The earldom begged for help from the throne Greenwild and, with the full force of the crown army behind it, crushed the monastery, killing or exiling all monks in the order.

Structure

All monks in the order are equal in decision-making matters, but elders should be respected by the younger monks. Age is determined by time spent in the order and not physical age.

Disbandment

The order was shattered after the crown army, combined with the Kchernik earldom, killed or exiled nearly all monks in the monastery.
