Malboro - Lavender Beds W24 P58
An old Ala Mhigan garrison dating back to the Autumn war. Situated in the mountains that split Gyr Abania from the Shroud, this place has traded hands several times. From being built by the Ala Mhigan military at the start of the campaign, to being captured by the forces of Gridania and recaptured by Ala Mhigo, it has stood the test of time.Now it stands as a temple to Rhalgr and a Monastery for those who wish to come learn not only the way of the Fist, but the rich and storied history and culture of Ala Mhigo.Beware Shatterspleen, the wild Griffin that roosts there. He may bite you, if you don't bring him a food offering.

Hammam:
After a long day of training, there are few things that can mend the body and soul better than a traditional Ala Mhigan bath and massage!The experience starts off in the sauna where you let the steam and heat relax your body, and before long your Tellak will come in and place you on their work table and begin to scrub your body with a coarse scrubbing glove to remove any dirt and dead skin. After being rinsed off with warm water, you are covered in copious amounts of soap and oil. This is where the fun begins, as the Tellak will begin working and washing your body, using a variety of techniques ranging from acupressure, osteopathic manipulation, and many more depending on the Tellak and your needs. After this rather brutal and intense massage, you will once again be rinsed down with water and brought to a cool down room where you can soak in an ice bath, and enjoy a specially brewed tea to stimulate regrowth and regeneration.This massage is intense, some would even say painful. Certainly not for everyone!
Çalışma:One of the most important facets of the Monk's lifestyle is training!From physical exercise, to sparring, one that walks the path of Rhalgr must be strong of body. But this is not something that comes so easily, so one must constantly train if they seek to grow closer to the Destroyer.So come, practice your katas! Spar with your fellow monk, learn from them, teach them. Grow and help others grow!Private lessons are available!
Mutfağı:To be of strong body and mind. One must be well fed. Come and enjoy a hearty meal to help replenish your aether.Serving traditional Ala Mhigan meals, you are bound to enjoy a flavorful experience of countless potent herbs and spices designed to nourish the very soul.This is not a restaurant though, no rather you eat what you are given, and you will eat it all.Feel free to enjoy a glass or two of Arak with your meal!
Eğitim:The path of the Fist is a path of Balance.As such, one must not only train their body, but their mind! A proper Monk is more than just a pugilist. They are a scholar, learned in spirituality, philosophy and history.Here in this library you will find countless texts ranging from traditional folklore, aetherology, spiritualism, the Twelve, history, and countless firsthand experiences transcribed into journals from Monks of eras long passed.You might even be able to catch a lecture on some of these topics and expand your knowledge.
Düşünmek:Meditation is a corner stone of the Monk's way of life. Sometimes one needs to sit and reflect. Be it on their life, or simply their day. Taking a few moments to sit in silence, or tend to the ponds and fountain is a great way to bring inner peace to that turmoil!Or maybe you just want to sit down and take a load off. Either way, come and enjoy the calming sound of the waters as they flow into the pond, watch the fish as they swim about. You'll soon find yourself entranced and relaxed, free of all worry!
Upon entering the courtyard, one can choose to enjoy the view of the mountains and forest that surrounds them. Partake in a bit of outdoors training, meditate, repair gear, grab a meal, or even catch a nap if you find yourself feeling tired enough.
Walking into the temple, the first thing that hits you is the fragrant and herbal scent of the various carefully cultivated plants that help add life to the monastery. The sound of water falling helps ease the nerves and calm the mind. If you are lucky, you might even catch the scents of fresh cooked food from the dining hall. Witness the training sessions or overhear the lectures.So welcome to Solace, make yourself at home!

Combat rules:
For the sake of keeping things moving along, during events we ask that you default to grindstone rules.What are grindstone rules? Its quite simple, just attack and defense rolls. If the attack roll wins, a point is granted. If the defense roll wins, a point is NOT granted. First to three points wins.Important: Do NOT shoot guns in the temple, its very loud and disrupting. Keep your brawls to melee only, and keep in mind. We're not trying to murder one another here, so use SOME modicum of restraint.
