Xenkan Monks

The Xenkan Monks are a group founded by Xenka on the Serpent Isle.

History
After Xenka had left her village due to her frustrating experiences with the mages of Moonshade, she and her family moved to Monk Isle. There, she gathered followers to help prevent the horrible disaster she had foreseen could destroy the universe, prepare the inhabitants of Serpent Isle and aid the Avatar upon the hero's arrival.

However, things went wrong after Xenka vanished into the Void (probably to wait for said hero). Over time, the monks felt that Xenka's clear instructions weren't worthy enough of a great prophetess. They felt her sometimes weird prophecies were much more mystical, thus editing them together with her instructions until they became almost unreadable poetic gibberish, and losing the original instructions in the process. Having robbed themselves of their guidelines, the order became frozen in dogma and totally divided on what they should actually do.

Some, like Thoxa, felt that more direct action was required, while others around Karnax were strictly against it. In the end, the order did nothing at all. It also became difficult for them to acquire new novices, as the order had become so strict over time that few wanted to join. In the end Thoxa took it upon herself to leave and explore the lands before aiding the Avatar at their arrival, much to the horror of somne other monks. Due to the divide, the order at first could only help the hero indirectly. Only after the Banes of Chaos caused widespread slaughter did Karnax cave and gave more direct aid.

When Xenka did return in order to help the Avatar on their quest, she was extremely angry at how the order had failed in the objectives she'd given them. It is very possible that with her return, things would drastically change in the order.
