The Spirit Monks were a monastic order located in Dirge where they tended the Temple of Dirge. They served the Water Dragon and acted as shepherds for the dead. Most of the Order were brought to the temple as children, generally orphans, where they were raised to serve the Water Dragon, protect her holy fountains and were ingrained with the values of honor and duty. A few children were born into the order when both of their parents were Spirit Monks. The Spirit Monks are mentioned in the bookstands and scrollstands "The Land of Howling Spirits" and "The Righteous Siege."
