It lies east of the Glacier of the White Worm,[1] having been founded in 1242 DR.[2] Its monks are disciples of Saint Sollars the Twice Martyred, and they dedicate their time to genealogical studies[3] and create blueberry wine. They keep an extensive archive on the Bloodstone Lands, recording news from Damara, Impiltur, Narfell and Vaasa. They also keep a museum of artwork themed around Ilmater.[1] The monks are renowned for the loyalty they show to their allies, such as the Order of the Golden Cup, with whom they often travel. They are greatly respected in diplomatic matters.[4]

The hunters Dorn Graybrook and Raryn Snowstealer, the copper dragon Chatulio, and the song dragon Kara aided the monks in defending the monastery.[5]
