Dhuiss Monastery

The Dhuiss Monastery is home to the Dhuiss Monastic Order (colloquially referred to as the Dhuiss Monastics). Founded atop Greligz Peak in Mamota, in 3218 MEC, they are primarily known for mysticism, outdated gender attitudes (being one of the few religions on Aquitilla still restricting clergy membership to males), prediction of the future and "postdiction" of unknown past events, and failed attempts to stabilize regions such as Ferridun and Mamota.

The Dhuiss Monastics are most famous for their development of the Temporally Detached Decision Engine, or TDDE. This device is, essentially, a "partial time machine", capable of observing different areas on the timeline (including the future, though see "disputed prophecies" below) but incapable of actually traveling. As with all time machines, it is incredibly unreliable, but due to its observation-only design, it is one of the most stable devices that currently exist.

History
The Dhuiss Monastery was built by a small group of wanderers first assembled in roughly 3190 MEC. Following the tradition of Aquitillan shamans, they slowly evolved into their own religion. Construction of the Monastery began in 3103, and it was built according to traditional Shamanistic design policies to enhance "flow of luck" and "life force synthesis."

For a while, the Order remained at a fairly small population, consisting almost exclusively of the descendants of the founders. However, in 3552 MEC, the organization's membership exploded as a direct result of the Third Jakaarith Exodus and the great number of religious and political refugees seeking a safe haven. Their influence caused the Order's beliefs to evolve a bit, but they mostly stayed the same, with the newcomers either becoming assimilated or leaving for new prospects within ten years.

Disputed Prophecies
As with all prophecies, the accuracy of the Dhuiss Monastic Order's predictions has often been debated. Some have argued that they have occasionally hit on something by pure luck; others that certain prophecies are vague enough that it's impossible to know if they really "came true". Whatever the case, it is certain that the Order has had a sufficient success rate for their methods to be considered better than random guessing, if only somewhat.

''As a note: While normally it is frowned upon for scholars to edit each others' articles on this collaborative project, it turns my stomach to read about the myriad failed prophecies and disgusting attitudes of this group. As such, if anyone would like to direct me to other prophecies (alleged, failed or proven) the Order has made, please note them in the comments, or send them to my talk page. I appreciate the help.''
