==== Order of Saint Bernard ====
''Annau du Haix Bernard''

Monastic Order (LG) founded by Saint Bernard du Bresi.  Saint Bernard founded one of the first temples and monasteries, far to the north, in the Grey Mountains North of Thornwood.  There he instructed and taught the tenets of the faith, far from the eyes of the Jhonian rulers who held power over our lands at the time.  His students spread the word of the Scrolls of Faith throughout the lands, going on to found settlements of their own.  He was martyred when the Jhonians found his enclave in our year 2974.  They flayed him naked in the snow, and threw him from the summit onto the rocky slopes below.  The order keeps monasteries throughout the Lands, where they preserve all forms of written knowledge and lore.
