D6	This monastery can be found
1	on a muddy islet in the middle of a broad river.
2	in the verdant caldera of an extinct volcano.
3	somewhere within a trackless, untamed forest which only its monks know how to navigate.
4	atop the split lip of a cliff, across a quivering rope bridge.
5	on the palm of a titanic statue, which based on its anatomy predates the faith and perhaps humanity itself.
6	in a cavern, carved whole from the damp stone.

D6	This monastery was founded
1	on top of a razed pagan sacred grove.
2	as a place to put unpopular clergy where they couldn’t become an issue.
3	as a distant refuge from civilization and its temptations.
4	originally as a fortress, and still bears the marks of and means for war.
5	thanks to the generous donation of a duke who was teetering on the verge of excommunication.
6	as an advance mission to preach in infidel territory.

D6	This monastery is known for
1	the quality of the footwear its monks cobble, the most comfortable boots and shoes to march or hike or saunter in.
2	the efficacy and relative painlessness of its medicines and surgery.
3	the strength and fine taste of its beer.
4	its political influence and sophistry.
5	its breathtakingly melodious choir.
6	its monks’ bawdiness, impropriety, and clandestine nightly visits to nearby villages.

D6	This monastery’s monks are sworn
1	to defend the laity from evil, and practice their martial arts every day at the crack of dawn.
2	to provide sanctuary and succour to all who humble themselves at its gate, even the vilest outlaws.
3	to surrender their names and be known only by functionary titles.
4	to scourge themselves to expunge the world’s sins.
5	to record all that occurs within it.
6	to avoid meat and the spilling of blood. They’ve found technicalities for both.

D6	This monastery is troubled
1	by a mara that’s feeding off their fantasies and fears of damnation.
2	by a relic which was entrusted to it, but is in fact a piece of a dismembered lich.
3	by a sect popular among the peasantry, that violently rejects the first estate.
4	by a Dionysian mystery cult that’s infiltrated its ranks.
5	by an ambitious and ruthless noble who wants to claim its land.
6	by raiders after its treasures.

D6	This monastery‘s abbot
1	is tyrannical and intolerant, coming up with cruel and unusual punishments for the slightest disobedience.
2	is a wannabe hermit with poor personal hygiene and a habit for making enigmatic proclamations.
3	is a renowned theologian and a secret heretic who’s convinced themself they’ve found a critical inconsistency in scripture.
4	feels deeply repressed regret for their path in life. They’re fond of travellers, and live vicariously through their stories.
5	is an extreme introvert, and almost never lifts their nose from the pages of a book.
6	is a fat and jolly drunkard.
