In the early Middle Ages, the height of ecclesiastical power, no fewer than five monasteries were founded in a beautiful valley with the aim of spreading the Word of God.

As the dean of a cathedral school, you try to house the novices entrusted to you in the monasteries and thus build an unmistakable reputation. Depending on your talents, you send novices to monastery buildings, to the chapel or to the monastery. The intervention of influential personalities or other monks should not be underestimated. You can also fulfill the special missions of the monasteries and build on the stained glass windows of your cathedral to raise the profile of your school. After the three-year novitiate, it will become clear who, together with their helpers, has achieved the most fame and glory.
