Monks who study the way of the four elements seek to be enlightened not by the truth of man or world or even nature, these monks seek a truth far more primordial. Monasteries devoted to the path of elements are few and far between, located at sights of immense elemental synergy for the element they dedicate themselves to. For example a monastery devoted to fire would often be found near a dormant volcano, earth deep in an abandoned mine and so on. A monastery, regardless of chosen affinity, teaches a student to control all four elements, few are capable of mastering all four in a single lifetime. The Way of the Primodial allow its acolyte's to become one with the elementals.
