The monastery is located in the mountains between Xi’ban and the now griffon controlled lands. The monastery was built into a mountain after the founders camped in a cave, and the floor collapsed underneath them and discovered the mountain was filled with caverns and caves which the three constructed into hallways and rooms, etc. The monastery Aevia belonged to is a more peaceful one and was only used to study the art and styles of gemcraft, the staff, auras, Eskrima sticks, Darts and potions, botany, metallurgy, throwing stars/knives, chakrams and hoof-to-hoof combat (required for all).

History
The Monastery was built by 3 traveling beings, their names have been lost along the years but are known as Maut, Nythen and Art by the masters of the Monastery. The three travellers all were uprooted by war, famine or class strife in their own respective kingdoms.

Art, a crystal pony from the crystal empire, despised Magic users due to her homeland being scorched and ruled by them, notably King Sombra. Due to this Magic users are banned from the monastery. She was proficient in staff combat, gemcraft and auras..

Maut is a male griffon who disliked the brutish nature of his fellow clanmates and ditched them to go and study different types of weaponry and self-defense/claw-to-hoof,-paw,-claw etc) combat. He was well known for his Eskrima stick forms as well as having an interest in botany.

Nythen hailed from Xi’ban and studied as a throwing star and chakram master. There was not much else known about this pony in the books, other than he was the one who saved Art’s life, while she was traveling in the mountain range the monastery was finally built in.

Social structure
All who attend the Monastery are equals, not counting the masters. Anyone can become a master, however, they must be accepted by and taken in to train and study under an existing and qualified master(must pass a set of tests set by qualified masters, etc). Most students stay at the monastery for at least 6-10 years, all students who are under the age of 12 upon arriving at the monastery must live there for a minimum of 8 years or until they reach the age of 18. Those living in the monastery must choose at least one weapon or skill to become proficient in by the age of 12 or before studying at the monastery for two years; otherwise, those above 16 years of age will be forced to choose or be dismissed from the monastery.

(If interested in creating a monk that goes specifically through this Monastery, please contact Aevia/Veanna first. I based the monastery just around Aevia first and expounded on it afterwards. Yes there are other monastery's and temples in the Mountiains near Xi'ban, so yes you could make a magic user Monk, or one that is specialized in something other than the list I used above, etc etc etc.)

As I said, I see no issues with this.
