The Sept of the Snow Leopard was a Stargazer caern located at Shingalu Monastery in Tibet.[1] It was a captured by Black Spiral Dancers, with the aid of fomori and human foot soldiers. Among them was one of the greatest Banes: Goghikkhu, a materialized nexus crawler who devoured the Sept's Pathstone[2]. Pirog took part in the attack. [3]
History[]
The sept was founded by the Stargazer Theurge Justinian, who fled Constantinople with the Stone of Marut under his arm and the Wyrm at his back. At length he found himself on the windswept Chang-Tang plains of Tibet.
It was at this time that Justinian met Milarepa, and a fast friendship grew between them. In 1083, they found the site of their future caern. It was only a year later, however, that the shadow of Justinian's pursuers arrived in the form of a Nexus Crawler. Although his followers had never seen a Wyrm creature before, they battled it valiantly. With the aid of Milarepa, they emerged victorious, but at a price. Justinian and 12 other lay dead.
The caern's stature and fame grew rapidly among the Stargazers of the world, becoming a Mecca of sorts for the philosopher sect.
