Treyvigg Monastery

Located in southern foothills of the Small Teeth mountain range – between Amn and Muranndin.

 

They make wine and grow food for the region.

 

They are also renowned combatants and experts in defensive tactics

 

The monastery sits in the hills above their vineyards and gardens.

Below the monastery is a vast network of tunnels and caves from prior inhabitants (Sythillisian Empire). In recent years, a large company of mountain gnomes discovered a pocket within depths of Small Teeth which contain an unusually large cache of Red Tear gemstones. Although the cache is a long distance from Ghallar Knoll on the western side of the Trade Way, scholars in the monastery have come to believe that there may be several such caches’ of Red Tears in the Small Teeth, and they somehow account for the miraculous nature of the Red Grass of Ghallar Knoll.

 

The mountain gnomes, seeking to protect their find from outside threats, blocked the cache location from the existing network of tunnels and made an arrangement with the monks of Treyvigg Monastery – the monks would provide the sole access to the cache in exchange for a share of the did.  The monks were less concerned with the wealth the gemstones represented than with the healing properties.  They have been happy to take fragments and scraps of the Red Tears since they are not selling them as gemstones (which sell for 1-2k each depending on size). Instead, they grind them into dust to be used in inks in spell books and potions. They are also working on a prized wine vintage – Red Well Wine – which promises to have healing and restorative properties. A single ounce of dust from the Red Tears has shown effective to enchant 10 Firkin Barrels (about 100 gallons) of wine.

 

The monks keep the gnomes dig a secret and provide them with food and water. The only way in or out of the dig site, since the gnomes collapsed several tunnels, is a concealed stairway in the storage keep in the back of the walled monastery. The arrangement has been successful for nearly a year with Yisi and Valea arrive.
