Shattered Realms

Ancient monasteries cling to the lower slopes of a towering mountain, remnants of a reclusive order of monks who once sought communion with the mountain's spirits. Now mostly abandoned, their halls echo with whispers of forgotten rituals, and the occasional hermit can be found seeking solace among the crumbling stone and faded murals.

The monasteries are built from weathered stone, with intricate carvings depicting celestial beings and mountain spirits. Vines and moss cover the walls, and the air is filled with the scent of pine and the distant sound of wind chimes.
