Geography
Haztaratain Monastery is carved into a mountainside on the eastern side of Adar close to the coast. Its location is hidden from outsiders, but it is within 50 miles of Riedra . [1]
Defenses
The monastery has several watchtowers that the monks use to keep an eye on the Riedran coast. [1] A shroud resonator deep within the monastery protects it and the region of Adar from scrying and teleportation. [3]
Trade
The monastery is close to several Adaran villages, who help supply the monastery. [1]
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]
