RELIGION OF TAOISM
A popular religion followed primarily in the Isles of Eon. Taoists are naturally reincarnated, and lose most of their memories in the process (though some have regained those memories through magical means). No one has determined how the location of the reincarnated spirit may be found.
To be a Taoist, you must be of the "Fighter" class. There have been occasional Taoists who discovered paths through books or even spontaneously, but they are very rare. Taoists believe that there is one perfect path, though none is sure what it is, and that once you have walked it, you will cease to be reincarnated and will achieve enlightenment.
There are many schools of Taoism, each of which tends to believe that its path is the correct one. Only Taoists are able to unlock the powers of Psionic magic. The Monastery of Elders, in the Isles of Eon, follows the teachings of the legendary fighter Nathios. The monks of the monastery train their followers to believe that meditation and nonviolence, except for defense, are the ways to enlightenment. Monks are adopted from orphanages as infants and trained their whole lives to use their psionic powers to great effect. When the monks reach age 16 they go out into the world to experience as much as possible, and return in their old age to tend the gardens, write poetry, and teach the arts to their young students.
