'The Way'

In the center of the Northlands is as small mountain chain like an island in the cold tundra. And in the center of those mountains, is a high plateau isolated from the rest of the kingdom. This is the home of the Followers of The Way. They could be mistaken as humble northmen priests from a holy order but they are not. These Monks live as hermits away from society, they follow no god but have their own faith called The Way. Even amongst their closed ordered sect knowledge of The Way is a guarded secret, only the high masters know of its true meanings and origins.

It is said that it came about around 200 years ago after the God wars, from the realization that the gods could not be trusted and were cruel and unjust. But more importantly that they were not the only divine power in the universe and that mortal man did not have to fear their wrath.

Numbering less than 150 disciples, with a strict order of hierarchy, they train their bodies and minds to strive for celestial enlightenment, always aware that their way , The Way, is a discipline most could never achieve. As for the gods, well they can watch.
