A first-generation Achaean [[monk]] of great power, Changcoix (born [[Ero]] 22, 156 AF) was originally a member of the [[Sentaari]] guild. After a dispute with Kothlun, the founder of the guild, Changcoix went on to form the Kharon monks of Hashan on the 1st of Ero, 174 AF.
For a time, the guild allied with [[the Occultists]] to form the [[Kharon Empire]].
== Culture ==
The House's members are as diverse as the professions they have chosen, each striving to better themselves and their brethren. Each new Tyro swears an oath upon joining the Sect, pledging allegiance. Adventurers who join this House provide service as the military arm that protects its [[city]] and its citizens from all forms of danger.


Through the ideals of discipline, respect, and unity, each member strives to accomplish the perfection of one's body, mind, and spirit. Members of the Sect pursue excellence in any field of achievement, be it exploration or combat, art or philosophy, or politics or theology.
