The Red Monk

Known to burrowers, diggers, skulks, and dwarves--a fearsome custodian patrols the crumbing under city of Orm-of-Old. Their surname lost to the sands of time! Their origins lasting in only half-forgotten nursery rhymes and myth! They are known now only as-- The Red Monk!

Bound by some ancient oath made to some antediluvian, hypogean power-- the Red Monk keeps these tunnels free from dangerous creatures that long to settle in their abandoned spaces. In this pitch black underworld, though, they are no match for the prowess of this pious sentinel. Through rigorous training--through unlocked spiritual senses--the Red Monk masters combat and movement through the dark!

A life, touched by light and lived in ruins may want one's heart to fill with pity for the Red Monk but worry not. The burrowing creatures of this neglected world are the Monk's allies and friends. It is said by some that the Red Monk first taught the hill dwarves the arts of befriending of these creatures when they first left their underground complexes but truth in such stories would make the Monk an unfathomable age. Regardless, the Red Monk enjoys the company and shares in the foods of these creatures while they wait vigilant in Orm-of-Old.
