The Lakan Monastery

The Lakan monastery is set on a hill about 3 1/2 miles south of Tokra, overlooking the River Hara. The ancient road from Tokra winds up the cliffs approaching the monastery.

The monastery itself consists of a large, main building, containing the temple of Laka, a cloister around an open practice ground / stone garden, kitchens, dining hall, dormitories, a chapter house and meeting space, a significant library, storerooms, and a well to bring water from the river below.

The entrance to the grounds is controlled by a gatehouse on the road, although there is no wall.

Arranged in a circle around the main monastery are the twelve shrines of Laka. The shrines are connected by a walkway, which also encircles the Monastery.

In between the shrines and the main building to the north, on the other side of Tokra, are three workshops. These are largely used to construct magic items - the Lakan Mystai specialize in the manipulations of planar energy, so construct bags of holding and other items connected to extradimensional spaces, as well as sending stones and similar items.

The largest workshop is built, in part, on the ruins of the Elven Arborea Workshop, an old elven workshop constructed around an Extraplanar Weak Point, a place where the wild, unbounded natural energy of Arborea flows into the material plane

There is a small lay archives, run by Kassi, which mostly contains copies of works of Dunmari religion, and a much larger private archive for initiates only. In the private archives are many records dealing with the planes, gods, the nature of divinity, the nature of the material plane, magic, and related topics.
