==Monks== Monks of Austrism (also called Idrian monks) are supposed to be the most pious and least ostentatious of Idrians.{{book ref\|wb\|44}} They are required to shear off their hair and to wear white robes.{{book ref\|wb\|2}} It is seen as a duty in Idris to provide at least one child for the monasteries (especially among noble or rich families), as it is against the Five Visions to be selfish, even with one's own blood.{{book ref\|wb\|2}} Idrian monks do not get locked in a monastery--they can leave at any time{{book ref\|wb\|44}}--and they provide services for the needy in Idris. The monks have nonreligious duties, instead acting as servants to the kingdom's poor in a very formalized way.{{annotation ref\|wb\|chapter=3-2}} For example, if a man breaks his leg and can't work, a monk will take his place in the job. Occasionally, if a father dies and can't support his family, a monk is permanently assigned to his place at work and provides for that man's family.
