History

1800 years ago, a monk named Hazgaal and his students dwelt at the monastery, when they were visited by 67 quori spirits seeking to flee the plane of Dal Quor . Hazgaal and his students underwent a ritual to bind their souls to those of the quori spirits, creating the first kalashtar. Hazgaal united with Taratai , leader of the quori to become the kalashtar Haztaratai, who first taught the precepts of the Path of Light. At some point the monastery was renamed after him. [4]
