'''Chomps, the [[Cyrene]] humgii''', sits day after day in the shade of the willow trees at Centre Crossing waiting for a kind citizen or visitor to feed him. Like others of his species, he is ''always'' hungry. Chomps is most always accompanied by [[Blu]], the blue [[:category: Lesser Dragons|lesser dragon]] who acts as the city guardian.
Located in the [[Pash Valley]] near [[Jaru]], the monastery of '''Shala'jen''', named for [[Jokelehn Shala'jen]], its founder, is a sorrowful place. All that remains of the peaceful [[monks]] who once lived here are their grief-stricken [[ghosts]]. Those intrepid [[adventurer|adventurers]] who dare to delve into the monastery's past, however, may discover there is more than meets the eye.


Chomps has not been seen since the collapse of the Clocktower in the [[Third Black Wave]].
Down a sloping path near the monastery lies a small cave inhabited by the [[Shala'jen bandits]]. Led by the master thief [[Gontathis]], they are aggressive towards anyone who might stumble into their lair. Lurking within the hideout as well is [[Vandastk]], the bone collector.

The symbol of the Shala'jen monks is a cross with a feather on the top.
 
For years, the monastery was hidden from mortal eyes. In the year 306, snows and rains cleared the debris covering the structure and cleared a path to the halls.
