The Great Trek of Eckt

After Eckt's vision and promise to the Pollywog he started

what has become known as "The Great Trek of Eckt". Eckt

first took a path along the coast. It was there the need was

greatest. It was upon the coast the message would first be

received. Eckt found much resistance to the word. Many

times he was chased out of town and village for preaching.

His life was under threat. He had been denounced by the

High Exalted Keeper of the Temple of the Mono as an

apostate. Many felt it their duty to the one Mono to end

the life of the heretic, Eckt. On his journey he acquired
followers and acolytes. These he schooled in theology and

the Practical. When they were sufficiently steeped in the

ways of the Poly they were dispatched to seek alms. What

they collected was to be used to purchase land for the

building of monasteries, convents and nunneries. An early

convert was Eckt's sister, Ester. Ester traveled the land for

ten years collecting the funds. When she had enough she

settled upon a spot overlooking the sea. There she and the

first group of sisters built the great buildings that stand even

today. Now there is a whole town grown up at the base of the
great convent walls. The town is called Ester after the first

Sister Poly. Throughout the land the Convent is renowned .

It is name is called "The Merciful Sisters of Poly, Ester"

The sisters are known for their clean and convenient habits.
