Orbonne Monastery is a monastery in Fa'Diel. It is somewhere west of The Veldt.
History
The Orbonne Monastery sits atop of one of the most ancient, dangerous libraries in existance. Practically rivaling the Etansel library in sheer volumes of knowledge, it is not nearly as famous or popular, as the inhabitants of the monastery have taken many measures to seal it up. The curse of the Zodiac Stones, mostly calmed, still seems to haunt the monastery...
Diana started the Monastery as a temple sanctuary for Jumi.
Over time the monastery took in more devout followers of different races, but was mainly controlled by the Jumi following their strict society codes. When Diana mysteriously died, authority went to her Guardian and husband, the Clarius (Pyrin).
When Goa invaded the southern lands of Fa'Diel, Pyrin chose to close Orbonne off from the world rather than take in those seeking asylum. This unpopular action led to the eventual upheaval of order after Pyrin's untimely death. The non-Jumi took over and opened their doors to those seeking aid, while exiling the Jumi still loyal to Pyrin. Any Jumi that remain in Orbonne to this day are those who chose to follow the new order and break from their traditions.
Sights
Orbonne is home to the (currently) only known living enchanted fruit tree, which bears multiple kinds of fruit (apples, bananas, oranges, pears) on the same branches.
Inhabitants
Rafa and Malak are the leaders, preaching tolerance and peace after the War of the Lions in their own world. Although everyone within is a devout pacifist, their brand of pacifism makes exceptions for aggressors - should you disturb their balance, the monks and priestesses can pummel the best warrior. The serene atmosphere of the place also draws bards and dancers, who form the majority of the church's choir and performers.
Law, Government, and Politics
Orbonne Monastery has been declared a strictly neutral religious zone. Anyone of any alignment, religion or affiliation may safely and peacefully worship or take refuge within its walls. It is a beacon of faith for many priests, and the guild of priests exists within its main hall.
