Does anyone think some of the monks that were in the Edificant Library that worshipped Deneir had the Carmendine Monk feat? Or am I wrong in assuming that Danica wasn't the only monk in the Library? If not, does anyone know where a monastery of this order might be stationed?

Well, the Edificant Library was pretty big and diversified, but the down side to all of that is that with the exception of a handful of people . . . (Spoilers)
Most of the people that were at the Library either ended up as bloodsuckers or a rather less intellectual then they once were. So I guess a more pertinent question might be if the Spirit Soaring has attracted monks. |

Yeah, I read the entire Cleric Quintet set(a finer work collectively than many of Salvatore's Drizzt centered books IMHO BTW), so that is why I am speaking in past tense...(Spoilers)
...because of what happened to all of them. Cadderly and the group made cameo appearances in some of Salvatore's later Drizzt books, but I don't really remember anything about how many people the Spirit Soaring had attracted, or if any at all besides the main characters and the kids. I don't know where the Zealots of the Written Order might be located, and I can find no clue as to any lore that might detail such. But I know that if Danica hadn't been the only monk in the Edificant Library, than there is a good chance that the other monk(s) would have followed Deneir.

| It has been a while since I read the quintet, but I always had the impression that Danica's monk training was 'imported' i.e. her teacher being from elsewhere and not perse a follower of Deneir... |

Are you telling me to CHECK those sources, or are you telling me that they ARE there and I should refer to them? If they definately are, can you give me the page number as to where I might find something about the in the FRCS(as a 2E source, I've no access to Faiths & Avatars)? |

What Dargoth said  .
Additionally, the reference in the FRCS just lists them as an order that is affiliated with Deneir. Other than that, there really isn't a lot more about the Zealots. It's just another aspect that was left to DMs to flesh out for their own campaigns.

| Hmmmm...isn't that much different from what is provided in CoV, so it doesn't really help me. But thanks for being helpful guys. At least I know now that I'll have to go off of what I have instead of trying to search old books. |

Well, that's kind of the point  .
Some of the "one-line" mentions for the various orders affiliated with the deities in F&A were mainly left open for DMs to create material on their own.
