The Monastery of the Yellow Rose, home to the disciples of Saint Sollars the Twice Martyred, is well-known as a as a repository of genealogies, lore on the Bloodstone Lands and Ilmateri art. Underneath the leadership of the Grandmaster of Flowers, the monks have recently delved further into new studies that combine the austere practices of their order with their beliefs of endurance, suffering and perseverance. This new philosophy, called the Yellow Breath, involves controlled breathing, fasting, and meditation.
The philosophy of Yellow Breath has come to Mulmaster, sensationalized by Zor Thylius Caramitru, a noble who claims to have studied at the Monastery itself. Thylius has returned with a monk from the Monastery and opened a chapter house where they preach its philosophies to the rich and powerful of Mulmaster. The popularity is approaching a craze among the aristocracy's young.
At the same time, Mulmaster is aflame with chaotic passions, made worse by the recent influx of refugees from Phlan. Recently restored to life, Knight Aleyd Burral has become their hero. She strives to rally aid to her cause and summon enough strength to free the town of Phlan from the Maimed Virulence, the green dragon that now lairs there.
