The Cho Monks
The Cho are an order of monks created by the great sage Mikado in order to assist in the protection of the fragmented aspects of ORyu as well as continue to instruct others on the teachings of Mikado. The cho are animists and mystics - practitioners of elemental spellcasting and chi arts.
As a side note: Cho are more like shintao priests than the shao-lin monks of history; traditionaly monks are spiritualists, not martial artists. Shao-lin are the exception, not the rule.
