Order of the Keepers

The Order of the Keepers is a monastic order dedicated to the pursuit and preservation of all knowledge. They maintain an extensive archive in Crotan, in the Cariff of Mantir, and exert a surprising amount of influence in the politics of the Crotani Empire. The members of the order identify often themselves as Keepers. Keepers can be found in every corner of the Empire, operating from many smaller local monasteries established by their order. To them, everything is worth writing down and remembering, no matter how mundane or inconsequential it may seem. Beyond this, Keepers can even be found on the fringes of the Empire's exploration and expansion, writing accounts of contact with new civilizations, and battles fought with the Empire's enemies.
