I'd like to leave Preacher here, and for people talking about monks, the old Magic settings had religious orders based on Western ones, not so much Eastern, I can't decide if Fleet-Footed Monk is supposed to be a Western or Eastern figure, earlier stuff was heavily European. Aysen Abbey is pretty prominent in Homelands at least, and the set features figures related to that Abbey, culminating in Ol Sideways Finger-Gun-Nun. The Order of the Ebon Hand is a Western inspired (Un)Holy Order IMHO, they even have Ebon Praetor in charge. I'm just saying it's funny, not that at this point a Monk in Magic isn't more likely Shaolin inspired than Hospitaller, the default has moved East it seems.

I do think it's quite possible to do a respectful 'lift' of an idea/concept when writing fantasy/scifi, but I think you do need to use the term in a respectful manner. The term should be tied to it's 'real world' use, and I think if the overwhelming majority of people who collectively identify as such aren't bothered it's probably fine? I mean, they can change their mind later I guess? Anyways, I don't know how I feel about the term 'shaman' specifically because it is afaik non-denominational, it's not tied to it's actual origins and is mostly used by Western powers to denigrate indigenous faiths. Maybe it's good if it goes then, because of the heaps of negative associations? I'm not sure what you could legitimately replace shaman with, maybe 'priest'? That's loaded AF at this point, but even Druid isn't a direct pathway, most shamans are closer to spirit guides than anything Druidic.

You're going to need some color fixing.

An-Havva Township, Aysen Abbey, Castle Sengir, Koskun Keep, Wizards' School, Cloudcrest Lake, Lantern-Lit Graveyard, Pinecrest Ridge, Tranquil Garden, and Waterveil Cavern are some quality dual/trilands you should definitely run.
