The Initiate Brother is a duology of books by Sean Russell. It focuses on a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of East Asia, blending elements of China and Japan, and deals with the response to a barbarian invasion (mostly focusing on the internal politics and near civil war that results). The titular character is a monk who may or may not be the great Teacher his religion tells of, but there's a wide cast of characters besides him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first book, called The Initiate Brother, was released in 1991, and the continuation, Gatherer of Clouds, was released the following year. More recently, they have been released as a single volume. | |

Corrupt Church: Both the two main Botahist orders - the Brotherhood and the Sisterhood - fall short of what they should be. The Brothers are often more interested in protecting their order's political power and influence than in doing good, positioning "spiritual advisors" (i.e. manipulators and spies) with as many ruler as possible. The Sisters don't have similar power, but are riven by infighting, factionalism, and personal ambition. Part of Shuyun's job serving the Teacher will presumably involve spreading a more genuine version of the religion - aided by the original scrolls of Botahara, which non-corrupt Brothers have been gradually smuggling away from Jinjoh Monastery for that purpose. | |
