Myrewood Abbey

Myrewood Abbey is a large monastery built by the Maras on two thousand acres of land in 421 K.C. Until just over a century ago, Myrewood's congregation was so large that it had its own diocese within the Church of the Holy Light. In recognition of its history, and numerous contributions to the greater Church, there is still a titular Bishop of Myrewood, though he is now answerable to the Bishops of the diocese of Stormwind, and holds no spiritual authority outside Myrewood. It is now property of the Myrewood Abbey Trust and funded entirely by the Myrewood Historical Society and a perpetual grant made by the 10th Count of Myrewood.
==Geography==
Located in the very center of two thousand acres of land, gifted to the local congregation by the 8th Count, the Monastery itself is situated beside Lake Myrewood, and divided into four cloisters. The palacial, Eastern-most cloister serves as the private residence of the Bishop of Myrewood and his staff, while the remaining three are divided among the clergy, the monks, and the orphanage. An addition built in 517 K.C. now serves as a center for spiritual growth and learning, while the most recent addition serves as a library.
==Center for Spiritual Learning==
Today, Myrewood Abbey remains the very center of spiritual worship for the people of Myrewood County, and home to an order of monks who farm and work the surrounding land. In addition to the monks, Myrewood Abbey is the residence of the Bishop of Myrewood, a small number of clergy, and most of the county's orphaned children.
As a center for spiritual learning, Myrewood Abbey trains many of the local clergy, and teaches local children about the Light and its virtues. Such classes and the maintenance of the facilities in which they meet, are funded by a perpetual grant, made by the 10th Count of Myrewood. Due to a sizable donation made by Dowager Countess, Annika Mara in May of 624 K.C. the Abbey now boasts a library that rivals even that of Stormwind Cathedral.
