Order of Majere Monastery

On the northern fringes of the town of Elmwood, just north of the Lemish Forest lays the Order of Majere Monastery. The monastery housed the monastic followers of the god Majere, who have sworn an oath never to raise edged weapons against any living creature. This rule was enforced to the point that no one entering the monastery was allowed to bring any weapon other than a staff into the grounds. The monks of this monastery are masters of meditation and undergo training regimes that ensure they maintain peak physical condition and have well developed defensive skills.

The current monastery was built over the ruins of the original monastery in 386 AC, and was designed with the same structure and design of its predecessor. A low wall surrounded the entire monastery, and a small building near the main gate into the structure was used to store weapons of those visiting the grounds. Beautiful gardens lay at the rear of the monastery, which are tended and maintained, and are the primary food source for the monks within.

Beyond the main gate, two front doors lead into a large foyer, which in turn led to an elaborate inner sanctum that housed the altar of Majere against it's rear wall. Three rows of windows on both walls allow for natural light to stream into the sanctum, whilst a set of stairs leading to the upper story of the monastery lies on both the left and right of the altar. An open walkway circles the sanctum and leads back to the foyer, as well as to the spartan cells of the monks, and guestrooms for visitors to the monastery. Just left of the ground floor foyer is the dining room, whilst on the right of the foyer is the scriptorium and chapter house for the monks.
