The origin of the Retrievers, the dissident religious sect, leads by Old Lady, the oldest school of
Black arts of retrieving into the eternal life.
After Retrievers unsuccessful upbringing in the year of the Loon the sect was proclaimed illegal and most of the members have been killed by the Trade Hanza troops just few of them survived
lost the right to be retrieved and served the rest of their lives in shame as bodyguards to different Hanzas.
The Old Lady was never apprehend and there is the rumors she still lives high in the mountains

Carved over millenia from the living stone of one of the greatest peaks of the J'ronlan Rift, the mountain fastness of Rishilan is home to the Order of Mes, ascetics who undergo ten reclusive years of education and contemplation of Asa'Shari, the spirit world, before re-entering the Na'Shari, the mundane world, as teachers, artists, poets, musicians, and mentors.
Every year one hopeful is allowed to enter the Order as an acolyte, but only if he or she succeeds in the traditional Pilgrim's Task: Starting at sunset on the eve of the vernal equinox, following a week of fasting and meditation, the pilgrim begins to climb the Way of Ten Thousand Steps clad only in the crimson Robe of the Petitioner. If the Petitioner arrives at the Great Gate of Rishilan before the first rays of the rising sun strike the courtyard of the monastery, the Pilgrim is welcomed as a new member of the Order. Those who fail are given food, water and clothing, and must return to their former lives to await the next year's equinox.

this monastery is the home of a conteplative order of monks who gradually build their indurance as they work their way up to the pinnacle. There are exactly 1000 steps to the top.
Inspired by the diligence of Swallows and Mudwasps, these small cells cling directly to the cliff face.
Im afraid I call it the "Staiway to heaven" Monastery

The Khalin Monastery
During the age of Neo-reich empire, religions themselves were banned, but such worshipping, as worshipping war were extremely encouraged.
One of such war worshipping monastery's, was the monastery of Khalin. The monks of the monastery commit themselves to practising martial art skills and war tactics everyday. It is well known, that most secret and deadly martial art styles are practised by the Khalin monks.
While in exile commander Dhaa'r seeked out the Khalin monastery to pledge himself to war, vengeance and fighting. It was here, where the legend of Dhaa'r von Fahrenheit started.

"With the Order of the Plainclothes Salesmen dwindling Mt. Handshake Monastery is nowadays quite barren. This once bustling hub of backroom deals and spiritual enlightenment, with it's spectacular views, has begun to feel the financial pinch of unpopularity. The Order has come up with many ideas of how to make the monastery profitible again but is ironically having problems finding the financial backing."

Mt. Dugishi monastary, known for its lovely blue roofs and the monks by who's mental effort alone the floating islands stay aloft, is open for visitation on the astral plane at any time of day or night. On a physical level however, visitors have been known to disrupt the concentration of the monks, causing several casualties...

The mountain monastery, built by ancient travellers, still stands to this day because of constant renovation. Used as a significant ending to a pilgrimage for the followers of those who constructed it. Although the details on the race are relatively small, it has been disputed that the so called homosapians became extinct because of an unknown elemental power, that was released from the rocks near the monastery over 800 years ago.

Local paramilitary elements have converted indigenous temple ruins on Titan’s third moon into functional facilities, and are currently operating without senatorial dispensation- participating in skirmishes to the south as mercenary units. Several Union officials in the region have requested our intervention.

"The tiny sect of the mlkar were seldom seen in the lands surrounding mount karthos... They were too busy keeping the Flame at bay and the gods of the earth sated. It was only the strongest and most fleet of foot who were able to pass from the status of 'sacrifice' to that of initiate of the order. Most historians agree that judging by the sect's daunting rituals, those who died early were actually the lucky ones"

"Only the notion of tourism revenue could sack 5000 years of moral and spiritual tradition embodied in the hallowed mountain monasteries, which for much of their lives were seen only by the most virtuous of the triumphant souls who could transverse the great vertical scales to reach them."

The Shuuk Temple of the Miscottii Monks, Deep in the mountains of Jimenii. Not visible in this shot of the main structure, is the tower of Heaven. From this tower leads a stairway, that according to legend, ascends straight to the throne of God. None that have ever began a journey up the stairs have ever returned.
