The Monastery of the Glorious Shield of The Nameless One, known informally as the Shield or just Balla Monastery, is a religious complex in one of the poorer areas of Balla, centred around a small church which predates the rest of the city by nearly two millennia. Run by the Order of Society, the complex also includes Purity House, a dormitory, a balneary, a refectory, a large library, an infirmary and the Houses of the Holy (a brothel, as is customary for many places of worship of The Nameless One) as well as numerous other minor buildings surrounded by a cloistered wall. It houses numerous monks and nuns, as well as a chapter of Paladins.
