Ashsteel Commune
A monastic order dedicated to the Efreeti Ignazz, this secretive sect is based in the relatively unknown village of Toun located deep in the Djinndarri territory of the Sunrathe Wastes.
These monks bring hard work and pragmatic mining practices to the desert, although some of the deep desert dwellers would say that they instead bring wanton destruction and hateful religious zealotry.Structure
