As religious orders go, the Brothers of Peace were among the most devout. Unlike other famously hypocritical religious, those accepted into Peace were those who had proven themselves worthy, steadfast, hard-working, and truly peaceful. The Brothers of Chastity couldn't make those claims. Not after the string of scandals.
The Brothers of Peace had a monastery in the rolling foothills at the base of the Mountains of Forever. The woods were thick and teeming with wildlife that the Brothers never killed. In keeping with their peaceful nature, the Brothers were vegetarian, and some were even vegan.
Brother Augustine was just vegetarian, he loved a good omelet, and he had been with the order for ten years. Peace cloaked him, as it did all the Brothers who stayed with the order for any length of time.
