The building

The long standing monastery was build upon the ruins of an ancient Elven temple and it is said that the well at the middle of its courtyard still has healing properties. The complex consists of a keep that is currently used as the dormitory and common areas of for the monks. Around the main courtyard the monastery has various workshops, specifically, blacksmith, a weaver/tailor, a tanner and a basket weaver. In addition to that the courtyard is surrounded by a 4 meters stone which makes the position a very well defended location.
