History

The Sect of the Black Lotus is the name of the House originally known as the Kharon, a monk class guild based in Hashan, Crown of the Ithmia. Their house estate, the Monastery of the Black Lotus, provides quarter and supplies for loyal members.

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.

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.
