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 adventurers who dare to delve into the monastery's past, however, may discover there is more than meets the eye.
Down a sloping path near the monastery lies a small cave inhabited by bandits. Led by the master thief Gontathis, they are deadly to stumble into. Lurking within the hideout as well is Vandastk, the bone collector.
Landmarks
- The Fountain of grace lies beneath the main floor of the monastery.
- From the bell tower one can view the monastery grounds as well as the surrounding countryside.
- Within the monastery gardens lies the holy sanctum, where the founder of the monastery is buried, as well as a headstone marking the grave of Silvestri Carnivalis, founder of the Jesters.

- Tomlis, the Shala'jen novice
- Shanta, the Ritualist
