Temples of Kaimetsu-Uo

The Themples of Kaimetsu-uo house the monks who follow the path of the Mantis Clan founder Kaimetsu-uo. They view him very differently from the Mantis, believing he chose to leave the Crab despite his superior claim to the Championship out of respect for his fathers wishes. He embraced a life of hardship in the Islands of Spice and Silk searching for his own destiny, and accepted wisdom from a source that the Empire mostly distrusts; the koumori, wise bat-spirits from Chikushudo. Monks of this order do not eschew violence, but they do not start it. They study the path to purification, seeking to eliminate the corruptive influences in the mortal realm. They do not brag or attempt intimidation, and are prohibited from using any weapons. There are three temples considered to be a part of the Temples of Kaimetsu-uo, one in each of the lands of the Mantis, Crab and Lion. (3E p. 251)
