Way of Endless Torment

Monks of endless torment study the ways in which fear can be weaponised and mastered. They enjoy power, control and discipline, ruling with an iron fist and suing the fear they instill in others as a means to an end. Using torture, brutality and terror, these monks bring regimented doses of pain and suffering on their subjects.
