Monasteries of the way of the Spirit Warrior are places of harsh discipline, torturous conditioning, and unceasing strengthening execises of the mind and body. It is no wonder that very few diciples actually succeed at the rights of initiation, let alone climb to the rank of Master of the Spirit. To train in this way is to abandon the principles of pain and doubt, in order to be able to overcome anything that may face them in battle.

When they have trained enough to be allowed to venture outside of their monsteries, Spirit Warrior Monks often serve as guardians to those in need, defending towns and villages, or serving in adventuring parties so that they may travel and seek even greater foes to test themselves against. For if there is one thing that unifies all Spirit Warriors, it is their drive to push themselves to the limits of what they can endure.
