The '''Daru Monastery''' was founded in year 94 MA by a group of [[Sentaari]] monks who wished to walk a path of | |||
righteousness in the Light, and was formally recognized as a guild in the year 98 MA, following conflict with | |||
and division from more moderate Sentaari elements. Finding strength in the heat and light of holy fire, they | |||
followed Lord [[Rahn|Rahn's]] tenet of Perfection until His demise. With the subsequent genesis of Lady [[Auresae]], the | |||
guild refocused itself on the path of Purity, which became its highest ideal, and the [[Zealots]] looked to banish | |||
their Corruption from within. Devout seekers of self-improvement, they likewise strove to perfect themselves | |||
in Mind, Body, and Will. | |||
Sharing a common tradition with both Sentaari and [[Illuminai]], the Daru had retained the skills of [[Tekura]] and | |||
[[Telepathy]] - the former a martial art, rendering its practitioner a deadly weapon. The latter, honing the mind | |||
to a precision instrument, capable of striking at enemies from a distance. Finally, the ancient art of | |||
Illumination expressed the will of the Zealot, allowing them to channel their Inner Spark, unleashing fire and | |||
light as both an awesome weapon and a formidable defense. | |||
On 13th of [[Khepary]], of the year 452 MA, the prophet [[Kayalenki]], condemning the leadership of the guild, ordered | |||
the Daru dissolved as an independent monastery. Those loyal to their Illuminai heritage were bid to join with | |||
the [[Luminaries]] under a new Illuminai order. The Daru legacy is that of a structured, disciplined approach; one | |||
in which the Light is found by the slow and careful elimination of flaws. Though the guild itself is ended, | |||
the teachings live on within the Illuminai. | |||
