Just as the wind flows wherever it can, Monks that follow the Way of the Wind allow life to take them down any road. Way of the Wind monks seek  to detach themselves from worldly problems and concerns; finding that peace and freedom are the key to solving the difficulties in life.

Way of the Wind monks espouse a philosophy of conflict avoidance and respect for all forms of life; never seeking a fight. Due to their passive nature, those who follow the Way of the Wind prefer evasive maneuvers as opposed to direct conformation in combat. Despite their peaceful ways, it is unwise to provoke a Monk that follows the Way of the Wind; a gentle breeze can easily flow into a devastating tempest.
