The body breaks; the mountain doesn't. Unmoved Mountain is the ascetic sect of Barrier Pass — the discipline that tests its adherents until they're no longer the people who walked in, and asks them to do it again tomorrow.
It is led by Preshi Kav, one of The Three Honored Sages, whose instinct is to drive her students toward perfection. Preshi Kav is also tied to suspicion of a popular monk who may be starting down the path of a false adept.
In encounters
- Feats of extreme athleticism or endurance

Hooks
Use Unmoved Mountain when discipline becomes escalation: impossible trials, contempt for weakness, endurance as proof of truth, and resistance to compromise even when compromise would save lives.
