To put it succinctly and without all the satiric vitroil of the above:

Widargelt meets the Warrior of Light at Revenant's Toll and reveals that he has begun taking on new disciples, two Miqo'te sisters. Inspired by Warrior of Light's rapid progress, he aspires to restore the brotherhood of monks by training these new pupils of his.

The Miqo'te apprentices eventually reveal themselves as monks in their own right when they turn on Widargelt and the Warrior of Light. Widargelt is surprised to learn from them that the Fist of Rhalgr was once comprised of two sects, the sect of light and the sect of shadow, and that there are not seven chakra total but fourteen chakra in all, seven for light and seven for shadow. As it turns out, the only means by which one can open chakra of the opposite sect is through fighting a monk of the opposite sect. The clash between light and dark serves as a catalyst that opens chakra of the opposite aspect (as opposed to opening chakra of your native aspect, which as seen in the 30-50 Job Quests requires tapping into a land that once saw violent battle).

The women are both of the sect of shadow, and on a number of occassions appear to confront Widargelt and the Warrior. As the four monks grow together, it becomes readily apparent that the women are being pressured into this bloody conflict by their master, a monk of the old order who survived the massacre of the Fist of Rhalgr and took advantage of the slaughter so many years ago to open the fourteenth chakra. For the fourteenth, like the seventh, requires traumatic violence to open; the fourteenth requires you to murder a monk of the opposite sect.

This Nunh attempts to coerce Widargelt into kneeling before him and serving him as the head of the new order, and eventually resorts to kidnapping and threatening one of the women to further pressure Widargelt into surrendering himself. The three remaining monks despair, for despite many attempts not a one of them is able to open the fourteenth chakra without resorting to murder. Taking hope and faith that the three of them together might manage to overcome the Nunh despite their deficiencies, they confront him just south of Little Ala Mhigo. In the battle that ensues, Widargelt and the free Miqo'te woman hold off the Nunh's disciples while the Warrior of Light confronts the old monk of shadow himself. Fueled apparently by the direct conflict and the desire to protect his/her friends, the Warrior of Light is surprised to find the fourteenth chakra opening to him/her. Now on an even footing, the Warrior of Light defeats the Nunh, and the four monks return to Revenant's Toll to begin building a new order, one that does not resort to needless violence and murder to obtain power.
