[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 9330793, member: 92511"] I have different ones/uses. A pretty even split between the occidental and oriental varieties. The main/largest religion of the setting has various monasteries that house male and female followers. Some are male exclusive. Some female. Titles tend to be - for the day-to-day general religious vs. the higher echelons of the church hierarchy - "Brother/Sister." Orders are led by a "Patrarc" ("pay-trark" No, I know. It's purposely not "patriarch") or "Matron" of Astar. There are "monasteries" (led by Patrarcs or Matrons) or "abbeys" (Abbots/Abbess) but not "nunneries/nuns" per se. IT would just be an all female order in a monastery or abbey. There are monasteries know to produce certain potions or magic scrolls. But could just as easily produce wine/other liquor, honey, candles, oils (olive or other uses for cooking or essential tinctures), medicines. The temples and collectives -which might be considered/organized in a "monastic" style- of the craftsman god might be known to produce great leather goods or carpentry products, statuary or metalworks. The better known/more infamous include: [LIST] [*]The Onyx Abbey - which trains martial adepts along with shadowmagics and/or some psychic abilities, to produce ninja-like shadow-walker assassins. [*]There are the elfin order of the Riv Chaliiri ("Leaf Dancers"), who are martial artist sacred archers of supernatural accuracy/perfection, exhibiting prowess and powers infused with divine magics. [*] And the Scribe-Monks of Sorilore who serve the god of knowledge/histroy/the mind, who spend hours per day in meditative commnunion to chronicle "all knowledge" - the goings-on around the world - for their lord-god, Sorilore "the All Knowing." And spend hours more in aligning mind-body-spirit to perfect and maintain their physical forms for meditative focus/connections necessary to pursue their divine devotion, to record all knowledge/history for the monastery's (and by extension, their deity's) endless archives. They are the most "shaolin-esque" order I have in the world. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
