Are there monks in the various Gloranthan religions?

Yes. Many Gloranthan religions and cults have dedicated religious ascetics with which the term “monk” can fairly be used. Peloria, the West, and the East all have communities of ascetics. Heck, even the initiates of certain Chalana Arroy or Lhankor Mhy temples could also be compared with various monastic traditions.
But do we have anything that can properly be compared with Benedictine monasticism (or its various medieval heirs) and its specific vows or organizational structure? Nothing really comes to mind – most Gloranthan monasticism is more comparable to Buddhist or Jainist or Hindu traditions than Christian.
