A more complete one than in the CS.

12-29-07, 07:38 PM You may find this listing of Monk Orders useful:- http://candlekeep.com/library/articles/monks.htm

Tom Costa provided a variant monk, called the Varde Elgg, in his unofficial PDF material for PrCs in the Realms:- http://www.ericlboyd.com/dnd/prestige_classes.html

The previews for the City of Splendors tome also provided details on an Amaunator-based monastic order. Calling themselves Sun Soul Monks, they're detailed here - http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x...rigin=&origin=

See the web enhancement for Faiths & Pantheons also, for brief listings of deity-based monkish orders:- http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20020504a

The 2e accessories - Lands of Intrigue and Empires of the Shining Sea - also cover several monastic orders, including one based on Ilmater.

Note also that the monastic orders detailed in the 3e FRCs were made up for that source to insert 3e monks into the Realms. Almost certainly, unlike almost every other aspect of the Realms, there's little or no extant unpublished lore.

The Broken Ones receive a brief nod in the F&P web enhancement -- but little true details are revealed beyond their mention as a monk order devoted to Ilmater.

The Dark Moon monks receive further treatment in Lords of Darkness.

Tom Reid said he expanded on those initial 'Hin Fist' details that were included in the 3e FRCS, for Shining South.

For the Monks of the Long Death... see Lords of Darkness.

Unless I've overlooked a new reference, there is almost nothing in print about the Old Order, other than the FRCS and the F&P WE.

12-29-07, 07:47 PM I don't have my listing of paladin/knightly order with me at the moment [which is strange]. Though, you'll find details on various orders in most of the FRCS's, Faiths & Avatars, the web enhancement for Faiths & Pantheons, Champions of Valor, and a few other sources I'm probably forgetting at this early hour of the morning...

01-05-08, 08:16 AM Champions of Valor has a nice multi-page spread on Monk/Paladin "holy orders", with a paragraph or so on each - though there is, naturally, a focus on good/exalted orders within the book.

Champions of Ruin doesn't really do the same in regards to evil monk orders, though IIRC it does cover the Sharran order.

01-06-08, 01:59 PM When I went looking for the Knightly Orders, I came across those first on the list, so I just thought I'd include it again for easy reference.

Sorry, didn't mean to step on any toes or anything - I happen to find those lists VERY useful, myself. ;)
