~May those who enter this domain know tranquility~ Spoiler: the Tea Sect's story The origins of the Tea Sect, and the holy land it rests on, are shrouded in mystery. But legend tells us that millennia ago, when the Buddha was bitterly wounded by the demons plaguing humanity, a wandering god breathed onto the World Tree, sending its leaves floating into the bowl of hot water that the Buddha had been using to dress his wounds. The Buddha watched in astonishment as the water changed properties. Inhaling its aroma, he lifted the bowl up, and drank deeply of the liquid within. As the delicious beverage entered his body, his wounds were healed, the poison within them expelled. Standing up, the Buddha declared that this concoction, tea, would from that day forth protect humanity: safeguarding its heart, relaxing its body, and strengthening its soul. As he continued his journey, the Buddha sprinkled the dregs from his bowl over the places he traveled through. Where they fell, tea shrubs grew. Their roots buried into the earth, intertwining with the ley lines far beneath the surface. Gradually, the land itself gained sentience and began cultivating. Upon achieving immortality, the mythical Land of Tea became the holy land of tea throughout the world. Now, the Tea Sect offers its shelter to all those who wish to partake in the divine brew it symbolizes. Welcome to the Tea Sect. As disciples of the way of tea, we pursue the warm companionship that tea provides to the peoples of the world. So it may surprise you to learn that tea is the secret sovereign of beverages. Or, it would be, if tea cared for such proof of power, as the less impressive drinks do. Perhaps a few words from the library of @Wikipedia, our guest elder, will help: "Tea is the most popular manufactured drink consumed in the world, equaling all others – including coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, and alcohol – combined." So you're starting to understand how powerful the Tea Sect is, yeah? Don't let this worry you, if you're part of another sect. We already rule the world. Don't let your ambition drive you, if you think to make this sect's power your own. Tea seeks harmony.
