Sang'Calor Cloister

After the Aasimar founders established the first cloister in 332 AU the Order grew slowly into a network of small cloisters scattered along trade routes and remote hamlets. They were often welcomed in places abandoned by larger churches because Sang'Calor offered practical relief without heavy proselytizing. A watershed moment occurred roughly 120 years after founding when a regional bishop denounced Sang'Calor for preserving 'pagan memories', pressuring several cloisters to close or go underground. That persecution forced Sang'Calor to codify secrecy practices, leading to the formation of the Circle of Remembrance and the sealing of particularly sensitive artifacts in the Orphic Basin. In the last century the Hallow Grave cloister became a model of quiet coexistence by allowing local draconic rites in private, which strengthened community bonds but introduced long-term risk. The cloister survived floods, a plague three generations ago, and an attempted raid by itinerant purists; each trial pulled the Order between public charity and private preservation.
