Part 1

The Destiny Spear is the final and most respected of the _object_s carried by Monks. The quest to earn the Forging of a Spear requires commitment and focus.

During your earlier training, you were embracing the a life as a Monk, following the Practice of the Eight Fold Path and developing your knowledge of yourself and our Sangha. Now it is time to venture out into the community and the wider world and bring that in balance with your inner knowledge.

Participate in 4 sub path events (one from each Path: Poet, Mage, Warrior and Rogue) ask the host to send a note verifying your participation to your elder. The purpose of this particular task is to learn more about others and to teach others a little about Monks by example. So the events should be one that offer the opportunity to do that. ((They should be RP events and the Poet one cannot be a Monk one))


Part 2

Going out into the community and showing others what a Monk is like is an important part of our lives. You've done well in doing this.

For the next stage of the quest, your focus will turn inward.

Spend time in meditation (at least 10 days). Your meditation should be focused on what your Destiny is. Write of your meditation and the results ((an rp de_script_ion of the meditation, or journal entries, something along those lines.)) First send this to me. Then Post on CoW and on Mantras.


Part 3

Though different Monks train differently, the balance of Mind and Body is very important to all of us. As you have completed the Mental aspects of this quest is it now time to deal with the physical.

Your body must be strong enough to wield this power, train your body well. ((200 million experience, have at least 50 might, 50 will, 50 grace.))

Finally, there are physical elements needed in the Forging of the Spear.

• Bring a sturdy (100%) Bekyun's spear for the structure.
• Five Stardrops to enchant the spear.
• One Fox blade to forge the tip of the spear.
• One Fine cloth, to shine and polish the spear.
