Temple of the Falling Wave

The Temple of the Falling Wave is located in Miyabe. The temple is a five story pagoda, flanked on one side by a belfry made to look like a miniature replica of the pagoda itself. There are four sliding wooden doors, one on each side of the structure. Each opens into the visitors hall of the temple. A wooden ramp leads to each of the doors.

The monks of this school are known for their martial prowess but also for their fabled inability to lie. They are often sought by noblemen in the training of their youth. A class of warrior known as the Jae Shi has its origins in this Temple, among others. The dye used by the Temple for their robes makes a bright blue color.

The monks believe that order and discipline will improve the common good, that truth is of the highest value, followed by beauty and life. They know that laws may restrict freedoms, but they are also for the best and should be pursued so long as they conform to goodness. Following this Way of Order is the best emulation of Bao Dan for the good of all people.

A peculiarity of this order, and others like it, is their regard for the health and welfare of society. Their monks can often be found ministering to the sick and dispossessed, using their healing arts to treat those that the rest of society would leave abandoned on their steps.
