The monks of the Fulcrum meditate on the balance of the planes, contemplating the delicate array of forces that underlie reality. The order was founded in Zilargo, and its roots are closely tied to the elemental binding industry. The masters of the Fulcrum believe that industrial binding carries the risk of disrupting the planar balance, and that the devotions of the Fulcrum serve as a counterbalance and prevent catastrophes.
Through their devotions, monks of the Fulcrum learn to channel powerful elemental forces. Rather than being part of the natural world, these powers are drawn from the planes, and the energies of Fernia, Risia and Lamannia flow through the Fulcrum monk. Most members of the order use such energies in abstract ways, acting purely to maintain the balance of elemental energies within the world. While some focus on the martial potential of these powers, sheathing their fists in fire and skin in stone.
The Fulcrum isn’t a religious order, but its members are concerned with anything that could disrupt the balance of the planes and are especially interested in solving the mystery of the Mourning. The order follows the Way of the Four Elements, and sage, scholar, and hermit are common backgrounds.
