Been a while since I did the Monk quest-line and its lore is rarely discussed compared to the other jobs so I was just wondering if I can get a refresher or pointed to where I can find some.

From what I remember about the monk quests, they grow stronger by unlocking their shakra (sp?) which they by training in places with high amounts of aether and absorbing it into their bodies.

Also you can reread/watch the quests in an inn room to refresh your memory.

The Monks are linked to Ala Mhigo before it was taken over by Garlemald. They were an order called the Fist of Rhalgr. (Ala Mhigo's patron deity) King Theodoric, who was ruling Ala Mhigo before the invasion, saw them as a threat and destroyed their temple and most of their order. A few got away, one of which being the Monk quest giver who turns out to be an resistance fighter for occupied Ala Mhigo.

The questline involves finding ancient battlefields because when a person dies they leave some sort of aetherial phenomenon behind (I think it explains ghosts in this universe) Your character uses those pockets of aether to unlock chakra, ultimately mastering things probably faster than you should.

A PC having ties to the Monks is pretty easy on this one. Monks-In-Hiding could potentially train new adventurers.
