  2. Monks are quite common within the Pit. They're disciplined fighters that rely on martial prowess to help protect and better themselves in an eternal quest of self perfection. They follow strict teachings that are handed down to them through the doctrines of the Pacifiers or Aine. Monks can come from many different places. Most are taught at the Owl's Spire and train among the Pacifiers to become powerful fighters; while other aspiring monks may train within the city of Amara.
