Location: Mountains of Dwyrain and one religious society in the Eftchismenos Mountains
That one mysterious society with monks and people who respect these monks and ask them for guidance. To be of this religion, you most likely have to be of the mountain people. Monks are the leaders of this religion. They get the honour of riding up the mountain on a llama to reach the summit, in which they are expected to pray, become enlightened by HetaWorld, beg for HetaWorld to solve problems, be one with nature, and hope they become as enlightened as the Dali Llama. Then they come back down to their villages. The people would respect and ask the monks for advice, bequeathing the monks with gifts of llama wool and red envelopes with one word that they truly need. The monks are therefore the leaders of their mountain villages and are honoured as the representatives of the Dali Llama.
They believe the Dali Llama will come back someday.
Monks may appear defenseless or old or meek, but the older they get, the more enlightened they are. The Dali Llama has granted them with physical strength, mental capabilities, and great knowledge. They can defend themselves, even if the village believes they need to be protected like a dragon with a treasury.
Monks are an exclusive class. They are selected at birth when a monk senses he is close to the end of his life. The last ten years of his life are dedicated to selecting and mentoring one underling who would eventually replace him in the leadership of the village. There are five monks per village. One does not simply give up the honour of being a monk. Of course, this means that there are children placed as monk leadership. Monks are often regarded as royalty. A monk and his family tend to live apart from the village, just a little bit up in the monks’ villas.
