Aligned with Dodrin, The Aethers Flame
These monks train under strain. Weighted chains. Freezing waterfalls. Burning coals.
They believe fear is sacred. Fear is proof that something matters.
They are loud, competitive, and fiercely loyal to one another.
Courage monks train in discomfort deliberately.
Cold water immersion. Sleep deprivation drills. Extended sparring beyond exhaustion.
They do not eliminate fear. They rehearse it.
They share stories of failure openly within their halls. Shame has no sanctuary here. Fear named is fear weakened.
They are often the loudest laughter in the monastery courtyard.
Their internal struggle:
Recklessness disguised as bravery. They must constantly ask whether they advance for purpose or ego.
In combat:
They escalate when pressured. Their resolve hardens under threat. Their presence rallies allies instinctively.
Corrupted Courage becomes addiction to conflict.
