Promoting the concept of "Unity through Respect, Competence through Diligence", the Ashura reside within the monastery of Ashtan. Above all else, they seek absolute perfection through the unity of mind, body, and spirit.
Founding
The Ashura was originally founded by Tranquility in 267 AF as Ashtan's own Monk guild. The events leading up to the founding of the Ashura are shrouded in mystery, as not much was written down. As most warriors tend to think of the present rather than their own posterity, no information can be found of the opening ceremonies or initial city honours. Beyond generalities and an announcement by Tranquility, nothing specific was stated publicly of the rise into Guildhood at all.
