At the monastery...
-
A tall and muscular man, dressed in dark full plate, inquires at the monastery about training in unarmed combat as well as a better awareness and control of his body. He leaves his name as Carico.
-
_Carico is not alone in being interested in the monastery. Another Banite, an unknown scarred and tattooed monk by the name of Vitius Scelus, has seemingly taken up residency in the very same compound. While on the surface he seems ill, in training he reveals an endurance and strength of mind that is extremely misleading.
He makes clear his intent to evaluate the status of the Banite church in the region and to provide it assistance if necessary._
-
The bald-pated monks of the Iron First take in any who display adquate discipline and endurance, training primarily in focusing the mind and body to the limits of individual potential. Included are the teachings of Bane, the Tyrant Lord, and how to lead and rule with wisdom and authority ((i.e. Machiavelli's "the Prince" )). Rare lessons with the monestary's cold pale master and Tribune of Oscura, The Nameless Monk, involve intense physical exertion and mental focus in scenarios that weigh strategic use of resource and ability.
