Way of the Mountain Soul

Monks of this Way have a deep inner connection with the world. They wish to fully understand and unravel the secrets held within the raw magics that have been left behind from the divine and betrayer gods. Most Monks of this Way tend to have a deep connection with lore and the deep history that many places in each country holds. These Monks are Librarians, Historians,  and archivists on content held around the great divergence and how that event has changed and altered the very fabric of the world they live in. These Monks believe that through chronicling these events accurately and learning deeply from the land, they can prevent leaders from making these same mistakes in the future. These monks are almost always deeply connected in one way or another to politics of the lands and their own Temples and sanctuaries have been used for peace discussions in the past.
