Whiteglade Monastery

Hidden within the Forest of Eli in Rylandaria, Whiteglade Monastery was home to a sect of monks, the Order of the Hidden Hand, dedicated to the teachings of Heironeous. Their former leader, Bennet Evigan - a friend of King Semaj BigAxe - was tasked with hiding one part of the Orb of Storms, keeping its existence secret from the outside world.
Due to the burden of this secret, Bennet became more and more reclusive, eventually cutting the monastery off from the wider world. While some supported his efforts due to his position at head of the order, many of the monks disagreed with his philosophy and, after a time, left the order to fulfil their oaths to protect those in need throughout the kingdoms. 
With many of the monks having left the order, it was under-defended and those exiles were quickly targeted by the Cult of the Bleeding Eye, led by Father Inorias, for any information about the Orb of Storms. Eventually, Inorias was able to piece together the location of Whiteglade Monastery and attacked during the night, burning it to the ground, stealing the part of the Orb of Storms, and killing most of the order including Bennet.
Dandak Gammidge came back to find the monastery destroyed, and vowed to destroy the Cult of The Bleeding Eye and Father Inorias for this unholy act. 
After the defeat of Father Inorias and the ending of the Bruxia / Rylandaria War, Dandak returned to Whiteglade Monastery and rebuilt it over the coming years, with aid and coin from King Semaj. It later became the centre for the worship of Heironeous in Rylandaria - with Dandak as the head priest.
