The Order of Anthropocentric Monks

The Order of Anthropocentric Monks is a militant philosophical group built around the belief that the era of the gods has ended and that their downfall proves mortal superiority. They argue that human strength comes not from faith, but from discipline, law, structure, and collective will. Religion is viewed as both a weakness and a dangerous tool once used by failing divine powers to maintain control.

Their doctrine rejects all divine authority and replaces it with strict hierarchy, moral rigidity, and enforced order. Compassion and freedom are tolerated only when they serve stability. The strong are expected to govern the weak decisively, as self-rule is seen as unreliable for many.

The Order spreads its ideology through teaching, debate, and institutional control, with monasteries functioning as training grounds, courts, and centers of re-education. While conversion is preferred, they are fully willing to impose their worldview by force if necessary. Every monk is trained in combat, treating swordsmanship as a moral discipline where precision and efficiency matter more than glory.

To outsiders they seem calm and rational, even principled. To opponents, they are relentless, cold enforcers of a rigid vision of human dominance and order. They stand in ideological rivalry with the Concordant Host.

Eryndra Zhai

Eryndra Zhai grew up during the collapse of religious rule in Keldrith, where her family suffered under an increasingly desperate minor god that imposed harsh tithes, forced rituals, and brutal punishments. When the god ultimately fell, it abandoned its followers, leaving famine, violence, and chaos behind.

Rather than relying on faith, Eryndra survived by imposing discipline and order. She organized food distribution, created rules, and punished instability among survivors. When the Anthropocentric Monks arrived, they recognized that she was already living according to their philosophy and she chose to join them.

She rose quickly within the Order due to her extreme self-control, unquestioning loyalty to doctrine, and firm leadership. Now serving as High Sethlet, she rules her monastery and nearby lands with calm, deliberate authority. She sees herself not as a conqueror, but as a guardian of stability in a world she believes rightfully belongs to mortals strong enough to maintain order.
