The Phoenix Monastery takes place around the year 1300 in Kufstein, Austria but mainly in Germany and Austria. The Baron decided he would have some monks start collecting information on anything worth archiving. These monks were noted for being fantastic scribes. In finding information for his people, he also takes a small fee for his services. Along the way, he finds some soldiers to help keep his castle and all the information safe. They happened to be some of the Knights Templar's that the King of France and the Pope persecuted.
