Famed for the peerless healers that are trained deep within the halls of the Red Keep, the order is shrouded in mystery and none, save perhaps the Lord of the Red Order, is aware of the true history of the monastic order. Secluded from the world behind the towering walls of their fortress, the monks maintain good relations with the remaining kingdoms of the Known World and the esoteric members of the order are unquestionably welcomed for the training they possess. At the heart of the order is a dark secret, known only to the most devoted of students. The voice of the First Sorcerer, speaking through the red worms, has guided the masters of the order across the ages, long before even the first stone of the Red Keep was laid. [/hider]
