Like most monasteries in Ebronism, Kipek Monastery is also a castle and political centre. In fact, it was a castle long before it became a monastery. It lies across the Laufin river from the village of Kipek.
Built from 287 BV to 261 BV, the castle originally secured the northern Fonticia border. During the conquest of Ezland in 43 AV, it was besieged and ultimately taken after a sixteen week siege with magic and a midnight attack that caused massive losses among the attacking Schap forces, but eventually overwhelmed the defenders.
It has since been repaired and turned into a monastery.
