Location: Amidst the rolling hop-fields of the Tepe Islands (The Halfling Breadbasket). Philosophy: Way of the Drunken Master. Icon: A Monkey hanging by its tail, holding a gourd/tankard.
Lore: While the Owaji "Iron Monkey" teaches the sword as a tool of the soul, the Halflings see the Monkey as a symbol of joy, luck, and unpredictability. This monastery is indistinguishable from a massive brewery. The monks here brew the famous Tepe Ale, and their martial art mimics the stumbling, erratic movements of a drunkard to confuse and disarm opponents. They teach that a rigid tree breaks in the wind, but a "tipsy" reed bends and survives.
