Through controlled breathing techniques many monks have made comfortable homes in mountains. Living high in the mountains a few monk villages have found themselves being neighbors to Cloud Giants, even fewer have made communities together. After many years of sharing knowledge and culture a new tradition was born. By tattooing runes to their bodies with enchanted ink and the controlled breathing techniques some monks can push themselves beyond their limits.
