Located on Tarthos, far south of Kar Alabrek, Mucenic is a secluded monastery used as the spiritual home of the Disciples of Ragnos.
Description
Mucenic consists of a small town, in the centre of which is a segregated settlement of humble-looking houses surrounding an ancient temple, small in stature, that is believed to have been created by Urias Orian in the distant past. Under the guise of religious study, Mucenic is the true seat of spiritual power on Tarthos. From here, the Disciples of Ragnos are able to exert their religious authority over Kar Alabrek and Markosian City through the influence of their doctrine.
Amongst the population of nearly 22,000, few in Markosian City and Kar Alabrek are aware of the true status of Mucenic. They see it as only a quiet, secluded religious haunt for monks to live out their days in, studying and praying. These people therefore blindly serve their employers, the Disciples themselves, without the slightest inkling of their true status. Mucenic has a single planetary shield generator installed that covers only parts of the town. The shield generator is only activated during times of emergency to hide the true nature of the installation; thus Mucenic suffers from whatever bad weather the planet throws at it, and has even adapted this into the prayer habits of the Disciples. The more pious members of the Disciples will venture outdoors during the harsh winter and pray in the snow, feeling that only through bodily pain and suffering can they truly understand the words and legacy of Marka Ragnos.
Life at Mucenic
Life at the monastery is curiously double-sided; those members of the Disciples who travel to Mucenic spend their time either studying the words of Marka Ragnos for enlightenment and engaging in the rituals held by the Disciples, or in continuing to train their martial and mental skills as they did while ensconced in Alabrek Castle. As such, any hypothetical visitor to the monastery (although visitors are strongly discouraged) would witness members of the Disciples in one room praying to Marka Ragnos, while in the next room they would witness members of the Disciples sparring both with their fists, with weapons and with the Force.
