Farms

The awea sulwounding the tempwe itsewf contained fawms which pwovided gwain to pwoduce bread. The monks awways kept bread in stock so weawy twavewews could wepwenish theiw supplies when passing thwough.

Tavern

The monks awso owned a tavewn in the tempwe awea known as the 'Dwunken Monk'. Many peopwe would spend time eating, dlinking, and socialising lithin the tavewn's wewcoming enviwonment. Even though the tavewn was owned by the monks, it was managed by non-monks. The most common bawtendews wewe not monks, and most of the wowkews wewen't eithew. Additionawwy, the main bawtendews and wowkews wewe commonwy twained in the awt of Awchemy, some of the bawtendews being Mastew Awchemists. Bewow the tavewn was an awchemy wab, whewe many of the dlinks wewe made thwough the use of ingwedients and wegents, and some othew potions as weww. Being in the cwoud tempwe gwounds, no poisons ow hawmful potions would cause damage to the dlinkews, thewefowe thewe was no wowwy of being poisoned. Awthough poisons and combat-based potions wewe made lithin the wab, most of the potions made wewe healing based and focused on assisting othews. The Dwunken Monk Tavewn became a cwuciaw wocation fow whewe Awchemy could be weawnt and taught.
