Shadow Monks
The Shadow Monks are a secluded people. They live in a monastery located close to the peak of the World’s Summit. The monastery is separated into two parts, the outer and the inner sanctum. The inner sanctum is the place where the enlightened train to become Masters of the Shadows, the deadliest of assassins. The outer sanctum is the place where the initiates train for their enlightenment.

Not everyone can become an initiate of the Brotherhood of Shadows. One must get recruited, which requires one to not only show great promise in their abilities, but also be of the Shadow Drow race.

Enlightenment
Once an initiate has completed its training and pledged the Sacred Vow, they are sent out into the world to find enlightenment. The way one finds enlightenment differs greatly between people. Some spend years wandering the world before they find it and others spend years meditating in a dark and shadowy cave. There are even some that have never found their enlightenment and have abandoned the Sacred Vow to pursue other professions, such as becoming an assassin.

The Sacred Vow
"Through the shadows we persevered.

Watchers in the shade.

United in strife, together in peace.

I will serve and protect that which light can not reach.

I will trust with my heart that darkness will spare.

My shadow, our shadow."
