Noreht Monk (Noreht Monk)

When the planet of Bre Damo in the outer rim was first discovered by Duro explorers, seeking to planets to settle, thousands of years ago, the primitive inhabitants believed they where demons sent to destroy them. They attacked them out of fear and their civilization fell into chaos. Eventually the Duros over came them and tried to communicate with them. They taught several of them how to speak basic, but they refused to listen to reason and would not believe that there could be other worlds besides their own, due to the beliefs of their religion. All seemed lost and the Duros where ready to give up when a young priest named Noreht claimed that he had received a vision. He began to teach a new philosophy of enlightenment to his people and convinced many the errors of their old beliefs. In this way he was able to establish a peace between his people and the Duros.

So moving was the words of the young Noreht that many of his people as well as some of the Duro settlers began to devote their lives to learning his teachings and seeking enlightenment. As the years passed smugglers and criminals that sought refuge on this out of the way place began to harass the monks, taking advantage of their peaceful ways. To protect themselves the monks began to incorporate ancient fighting styles of their people into their teachings and soon where able to repulse the criminals and protect their monasteries. Their doors are open to most adventurers to teach them the way to enlightenment.
