Tysh

A monastery and training ground for the Dwellers in Silence, an order of semi-clerical monastics dedicated to Korokonolkom. Founded in the first days following the Cataclysm, it stands near the peak of Mt. Vigil, a solitary peak NW of Fuar Uulan. Unlike most of the other great monasteries of western Noefra, it is completely non-political. Here, the Dwellers train body and soul, taking vows of silent contemplation while at the monastery. Dwellers do venture out into the world, acting as passive scribes of events and collectors of books. It is said that the library at Tysh is second only to those kept by the Cysgoroesi. Dwellers also practice arts of unarmed combat, learning to protect themselves against those that would interfere. Unlike those of the Home of the Elements, they hone the body and soul alone, not relying on elemental forces, and unlike Tyom, they do not hire themselves out as spies and assassins. Both men and women of all races are welcomed...if they can endure the trials. For the Lord of the Mountain is also Lord of Silent Endurance.
