You were only recently given the final rites of initiate training in the monastery of Master Anquo high in the Aynayjor Mountains. As your initiation ceremony ended, your teacher, Master Penquo (all masters of the monastery have names ending in -quo, which in Morakki is a suffix signifying the status of master) took you aside and spoke with you.

Master Penquo told you that since your initiation rites were complete, you were no longer bound to the monastery and could determine your course in the world. Of course, being one of the top initiates in your class, Master Penquo informed you that you could choose to remain at the monastery and become a teacher, one day perhaps ascending to a Master. However, he also believed that it might be quite beneficial to the basic tenets of the monastery if a worthy representative of the internal arts went forth to show how proper study of mind and body could turn a normal human into something better, the very reason that House Riverine had sent you to the monastery in the first place! No longer were you merely a handmaiden…now you were a monk. After years of grueling conditioning and training in the monastery, you were eager to return to House Riverine and show Trade Lord Barnabus that his faith in you was not wasted.

After bidding your master farewell, you made the long journey out of the mountains and back to House Riverine and the city of Dwillingir. You were shown to a small room with a bed and table to stow your belongings, made brief re-acquaintances with some House members you knew before you left, and then were told to prepare to meet with the Lord of the House, Master Barnabus, shortly.
