Story/History:

Something evil lurks under the remote mountain monastery of the New Thalosian Church. For years, ever since the death of the monastery's founder, a malignant evil presence has grown under this peaceful place. Several times the Church of New Thalos has tried to stomp out this lingering evil... it only grows stronger with each failed attempt.

Mobs of Note:

Abbot Aarondel - (Abbot's robes, desk key), Brother Kelvin - (goose quill), Brother Maynard - (monk's cloak), Ernst Prantroc - (silver-laced gloves, heavy silver medallion, garnet ring), skeleton - (moth-eaten cape), soul devourer - (corpselight), altar (ray of hope)

General Zone Strategies:

Get the crowbar from the crate in the food cellar in the east wing of the Monastery. Because the crowbar requires the crate to load upon zone reset, you should always junk the crate after grabbing the crowbar to avoid the load block. The crowbar is a key to the dais in the Chapel. Get the key from Abbot Aarondel (in his robes) to unlock the desk in the Abbot's Chamber. Get the seal from the desk, a key which opens the door to the bottom level of the Catacombs under the Monastery. Junk the desk. If the keys do not load, junk the crate and the desk.

If you don't junk the containers, they will block the key loads. 

The Devourer is an aggro! 3X ANNIH boss with no procs.  Glow and go.

If you're running Maynard for SAC, keep in mind that the brown robe must load for his monk's cloak to load.  If the brown robe is blocked due to max limit reached (10) in game, then the monk's cloak will also be blocked. Rule of thumb is to check his room for extra brown robes and junk them. Other players will typically not run the other monks and therefore their robe loads will be static. To be sure, do a quick "robe" locate and check the number of brown monk's robes in game.

Clues:

There are several Avenger clues here, in the second bookcase in the Library (east of the Abbot's private chamber), and adorning the walls of the monk's cells.
