Five Circles

This order swears loyalty to Forstorelse, the Bloodmoon and Chromatic Dragon. They follow what they believe are the five principles of combat, each principle corresponding with a different circle within the order. Their ranks are highly regimented, almost in a military fashion, and many of the monks of this order will hire themselves out as mercenaries and assassins. A few monks of this order have fallen from grace, advocating and following the primordial deities instead, and the battles between the orthodox monks and their heretic brethren are brutal and merciless.

The Order of the Five Circles is made up of mostly lawful evil monks, though occasionally a neutral member can be found. Many neutral monks don't last long within the Circles, either converting to a darker path or falling victim to an 'accident'. Each of the Five Circles represents one aspect of combat, from Forstorelse's teachings, and Adepts of each Circle specialize in their aspect. Red represents Destruction, annihilating one's foes. Blue represents Strategy to outthink their foes, while Green represents Deception to outwit them. Black Circle Adepts believe in Manuevering to defeat their enemies, while adepts of the White Circle, masters of Endurance, use their versatility to defeat the enemies of their goddess.
