The Order of the Dragon
Alignment/Class Ristrictions: Any lawful / major class must be monk. Multi-classed monks are okay as long as the monk level is equal to or greater than any other class.
Base of operations: Though originating from Eastern M'Chek, it was decided to relocate our main base of operations to a more remote area of Southern Negaria. Thus, the main monastery of the Dragon has recently been constructed in Deglos in a remote valley far above Nanshi Urbaz in the mountains. The valley is officially called Bosfich ciob Nanshi Urbaz, but more commonly "The Valley of the Dragon". The Order maintains friendly ties with other monasteries, like the Order of the Way in M'Chek and the Order of the Hammerfist in Nanshi Urbaz. Eventually more monasteries will be popping up everywhere. The Order operates all over Southern Avlis right now.
How to contact us: To find us either speak to some monks in game, with our current large and evergrowing number of members chances are you've already found us, or leave us a message on a tavernboard and we will contact you. You can also seek out one of the current leaders of the Order directly. Grandmaster and public voice for the Order Jade (European TZ), Sapphire Master Odel Helmsplitter (EST), Diamond Master Gladd'avenglori (EST), Sagemaster Hebrin Maul (PST), Ruby Master Red Lotus (EST), Guardmaster Tasi van Brockenhamm (EST).
What we do: The Order of the Dragon is non-religious, non-political, neutral order for monks. Although the Order is not affiliated with any deity, we will not reject religious monks whose faith aligns itself with the Orders goals. We focus on trying to bring and maintain balance to the lands of Avlis in order to obtain peace and prosperity for all (actually, most is a better term - unnatural abominations and undead type creatures aren't viewed too favorably). Due to the balanced character of the Order and its belief that every member should walk their own Path to Enlightenment, we are not lead by one Master, but by a Guiding council, The Dragon Trinity. The Trinity embodies all aspects of the Order and is made up of three facets, Diamond, Sapphire and Ruby. The Order provides training and guidance to its members, both by helping one develop the Harmony of Self through mastering our Ki energies and perfecting our bodies and also by teaching one the Wisdom needed to use ones power wisely to create and maintain Balance.
What to expect: Members will have meetings, called tribunals, periodically to discuss current issues and to take care of Order business. The Order will occasionally host an event which will involve contests of melee and of the mind (called the Day of the Dragon). In addition, members will frequently get together to adventure in areas all over Avlis and they are always seeking to test themselves where ever they can.
