Monk as a role in the hidden-road world
The Monk route fits Opiphilus because it reads as disciplined labor and shrine maintenance rather than battlefield attack. The active route uses Mon1k and adds one lit candle, then two candles, then candle, Bible, lantern, olive-branch, and vow-vessel badges before ending with the radiant and thicker halo treatments at Levels 8-9.
Mon2k, Mon3k, and Mon4k stay as support/reference variants unless promoted later, preserving the route as one readable body with an overlay ladder.
