In the secluded mountain monasteries, initiates engage in the rigorous pursuit of the Teachings of the Tey and Yul, honing their minds and bodies under the watchful guidance of strict yet wise monks. This demanding process, testing both physical prowess and mental resilience, often leads many to surrender. However, for those who persevere, the journey is far from over. Following monastery training comes The Path. Initiates embark on a solitary journey through the untamed wilderness until they receive a revelatory vision, unveiling profound meaning and purpose in their lives and training. The Path is a dual trial, both physical and spiritual, offering initiates a chance to comprehend the world beyond the monastery and apply the sacred Teachings. During this pilgrimage, initiates frequently lend aid to isolated communities. Devotees of Yul, the Moon, become defenders, safeguarding villages and caravans from bandits and warlords. On the other hand, adherents of Tey, the Stars, gravitate toward hunting monstrous entities plaguing the fringes of civilization. Such was the origin of Mao Wei, also known as the Wings of Salvation, who gained fame by aiding a settlement tormented by raging spirits. Yet, not every initiate reaches the culmination. Some yield to the world's allure, forsaking their training, while others misemploy their powers in a misguided pursuit of blind retribution. Those who successfully traverse The Path emerge as full-fledged monks, empowered to choose the course of their service—whether as warriors, monster hunters, or new mentors shaping the next generation of initiates. Their journey stands as a testament to the unwavering resilience needed to balance the sanctity of the Teachings with the challenges of the world beyond the monastery walls.
