Built in the year 1930, on the request of Monk Sakuraba, the Monastery has stood the test of time. Over the years it has survived countless attacks from the undead, bandits, and orcs. Under the leadership of Sister Rebecca, a series of major renovations were completed in 1952, leaving the present structure as it is today. Although originally a quiet monastic place, fit for wine making and prayer, the current monastery is a bustling location for faith activity. Under the guidance of Cardinal Rhosyn, the Holy ground has been a place of constant teaching and guidance in the faith. With amenities such as a medical clinic, library, classroom, kitchen, laboratory, and workshop, there are countless ways for the structure to continue to serve the local parish and Canondom as a whole. The monastery’s doors are open to all who come, and tours of the grounds may also be given to those who ask. We hope to stand strong as a bulwark of faith in these trying times. A testament to the work of the Canonist faith, and that GOD has not abandoned His earthly flock.

The Society of St. Julia of Paradisus

More commonly referred to as the Julians, the purpose of the society is to provide a leadership structure for the care, ministry, and maintenance of the monastery and it’s component grounds. Additionally, the society’s ministry extends to Baking, Alchemy, Exorcism, Manuscripting, Canon Law, Medicine, and many more focused pursuits. The Society is organized based on membership, which is constituted by a monastic or general organization.

• Superior General: This title is given to the current head of the society. They are the supreme authority for the order.
• Superior Secunda: This title is given to the second in command to the Superior General.
• Julian Monastic: This role is for any monk or nun who wishes to live within the monastery and follow its rule. The Monastic Julians are bound under obedience to the Superiors.
• Julian General: This role is for any priest, monk, nun, knight, dame, layman, etc. who wishes to participate in our mission. Although not bound in obedience to the Superiors, the General Julians are expected to heed their call and recommendations.

We felt it necessary to keep the order very simple. There are two main types of membership. The Monastic is for dedicated monk or nun roleplayers, and the General is for any priests, monks, nuns, or lay persons who simply want to be an on and off again part of it! Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Father Davide, definitely old enough to be a priest, greets all newcomers to the monastery with a friendly smile. Typically, he’s found a few minutes later making a doodle of them in his notebook that exaggerates their worst features.

Isabella was hard at work within Hohkmat; enchanting something within those walls which perched atop the mountainside. The Petran roads wrapped around and down from the City of Sorcerers towards the Memory Tree where the foundations for their neighbors of the Abbey rested. Those local to Vallagne new the track record for arson within the Commonwealth, and the Vizier was keen to ensure it remained safe even in her absence.

Offa, a recent convert to Canonism, is glad to hear of the existence of the monastery: for the religion of his native country is built around the monastery, and it is easier for him to comprehend than the parish church.
