Temple of Shan Sua

The Temple of Shan Sua is the home to The Order of Shan Sua (pronounced shān’suWÄ, “the mountain sanctuary”). This monastic order is among the oldest monastic orders on Eomas. The order is named after their home, a stony temple high in the Pardor Range, largely inaccessible but for the winding paths cut by the monks themselves over the centuries. The elves of Eomas call them tel’Orodyamen (literally “of the mountain place”) and they were already living on the mountain as the inhabitants of Terra began to climb out of the rubble of The Great Awakening. Their own traditions hold that the order is centuries older, and this temple is not their first, but rather their third and is still very young. The Shan Sua hold that the first two temples each stood for a millennia before being destroyed in violent cataclysm.
