The Silver Basin
The Silver Basin is the imposing headquarters of the martial order De Utvalda: Exiles of the Holy Light. Situated in the heart of Breioa, the structure is a massive complex of white granite that combines the defensive capabilities of a fortress with the asceticism of a monastery. Its namesake, a massive silver goblet-shaped fountain, sits in the central courtyard where members gather for ritual combat and cleansing. The guild is known for its members who possess uncanny physical endurance and divine strength, all while maintaining a cold, emotionless distance from the citizens of the metropolis.
The Silver Basin
The air inside is cool and smells of iron, sage, and old stone. The silence of the corridors is frequently broken by the rhythmic, heavy thud of sparring matches and the low, monotonic chanting of the daily prayers.

History
Membership Requirements
Initiates must undergo the Rite of Renunciation, which involves signing over all familial assets to the city and publicly declaring the end of their previous identity. They must then survive the 'Trial of the Heavy Hand' which consists of twelve hours of continuous unarmed combat against senior members.
Active Prophetic Mandates
The guild is currently offering bounties for the recovery of 'Soul Caskets': ancient stone urns found in the city's under-tunnels that Maura claims are essential for the upcoming divine alignment.
Divine Disciplines
Training at the hall focuses on the Path of the Unyielding Soul. Members learn to channel their divine blessing into their bodies, allowing them to ignore the effects of exhaustion and to strike with the force of a thunderclap during brawls.
