Kai Warrior

The Order of the Kai are warrior monks who have mastered various natural and supernatural abilities. The main Kai Monastery is found in the western central part of Sommerlund near the Durncrag Mountain range, next to the Darklands, and there is a second Kai Monastery on the Isle of Lorn. They are also known as Kai Lords.

In the land of Sommerlund, it is tradition to send the children of certain families to the Kai Monastery for training. There, they become initiates who are trained by existing Kai Lords, until they too have become masters of the way of the Kai. Once fully trained, the new Kai return home, prepared to defend themselves and their families should the threat of the Darklords be made manifest. Although Kai training is not easy, it instills unique Kai disciplines upon those who practice it. These disciplines manifest themselves in areas such as honed combat reflexes, psychic powers of the mind, and uniquely sharpened senses.
