Dark Monks

The Dark Monks are a religious group within Tyrrus who worship the Dark Gods. The Dark Monks work for the defense of the realm, and act against the misuse of divine magic. Their knowledge of dark magic means they have the knowledge to fight undead, Demons, and magic users.
The Dark Monks are based in the Black Monastery, in the Blackwald, on the slopes of the Dragoncrags.
The Dark Monks were founded sometime during the 2nd Century, and the monastery was originally established as a fortress and home for the religious leaders of the Barrowling folk. The Monks are the only remaining remnant of this ancient culture.
