 ====== The Eighth Monastery ======
-The eighth monastery is a secret society. It is the remains of the [[higher human|old times]] civilisation from before [[the fall]].
+The eighth monastery is a secret society of [[ageless life cycle|ageless]] [[higher human|higher humans]], fighting the [[determinism war]], sworn to destroy the [[Jeém]] and their [[monastery|seven monasteries]] because of what they percieve as the deliberate destruction of the human race. The eighth are the remains of the [[higher human|people from the old times]], the leftovers of civilisation from before [[great collapse|the fall]], they seek to //free// [[feral humans]] (who are often culled) from the //tyranny// of the [[Illúme]] because they believe that the [[Jeém]] engineered the current status quo.
+Many members of the eighth are ex-soldiers from the [[great collapse|war]] and they alone, along with the [[Jeém]] remember from before the collapse. However they disagree that they would be dead if it wasn't for the [[Jeém]]. During the war these individuals often bought their [[ageless life cycle|agelessness]] at the expense of others: agreeing to fight for the //have's// using the [[dymorphic phage]] as payment.
+The Eighth blame the [[Jeém]] for the fall, and secretly aligned themselves as a group of [[higher human|higher humans]] refusing to bow to the call to become rendered [[Illúme]]: willing avenge themselves against the thinking machines that they think would have destroyed them all.
+The Eighth are often at work and have even infiltrated certain ranks of the [[Illúme]] they far our gun the [[monastery|monasteries]] in technology and only the [[brutalus]] can counter them in anything like equal terms.
