The Monk of The Plains of Misery

INTRODUCTION

Native to the harsh environment of The Fourth Realm, The Monks of The Plains of Misery, serve to guard the Obelisk which shares the same name. An ancient relic predating most other beings. There are twelve members total and they spend their time in a mix of chanting around and guarding The Obelisk. They serve as a sort of collective oracle to The Golden God and he often uses their power to see into other realms to locate individuals or relics in other places. Despite this, they are not technically affiliated with The God and appear to have a mutual understanding and respect of the each other's power.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE 

Standing at 7ft tall, covered in black robes, The Monks pose intimidating figures and are feared by the advisors of The Golden God. The hoods obscure their faces even though it is known they are actually devoid of any facial features. They can summon spears of purple light, which presumably would be used to destroy those who desecrate The Obelisk if there were any other inhabitants of the realm which they live, as such, they serve more as ceremonial items. However, they occasionally use them to repel the savage beasts which inhabit the region when they venture too close.

PERSONALITY 

It is said the Monks have their own language unique to them which just sounds like small electronic crackles to anyone listening, not even The Golden God understands the dialect with which they speak. The only time they make any noise indicative of real speech is when they chant around the Obelisk. When approached they stand still until the individual is mere feet away and then they are struck down with vengeful purple light and their corpses disappear shortly after. The only exception they make is when The Golden God himself arrives to consult their ancient and monolithic power.
