The Womb

The Womb is a holy monastery for The Mother, it is located deep inside an enormous cave far west of The Isle of the Wise where many of it's theological representatives argue their case. In order to gain access to the monastery applicants must venture shoeless from their home overcoming any trials they face, they must navigate their way through the winding and treacherous cave accompanied by a monk to ensure their safety. The monastery only wants the brave and competent representing The Mother in The World.

Applicants only get two chances in their life to pass this trial. It is an unwritten rule that in order to become a preacher you must enroll as a monk and undergo their entire training process known as "Her Regime".

The Regime
Monks spend at least 4 years attending combat training, rhetoric lessons, religious text exegesis classes and performing manual labour. Once they have completed these tasks to the satisfaction of the leaders they untake the wait.

The Wait
Monks must wait silently in their room in deep prayer everyday, eating only bread and drinking only water. When the Abbot of the monastery hears that they are read from the mother, he will descend from the top of the monastery and send them out into the world. It has been rumoured many monks waited their entire life for this day to come but for many it never did.

The Proven
The Proven are a minute group of the most devoted, in order to join one must have had 100 of their recruits be accepted as monks. The Proven debate theological issues and are the only members of the religion that frequent The Isle of the Wise. The most able of the proven will gain a divine glow after the death of the current Abbot, this is the member the mother has chosen to be their replacement.
