The water genasi Shoalar Quanderil faithfully sails you down the river to the monastery (some of) you passed on the way to the Riverguard Keep. After you disembark, he sails on with Berci who had decided that adventuring is not his gig and is going to retire to his own village.
A trail leads into an ever-narrowing defile between bluffs of wind-sculpted sandstone. Eventually the walls draw in so closely that you can reach out and touch either side, but then the narrow space opens into a hidden canyon in the heart of the hills. A sprawling monastery with dark, narrow windows and red tile rooftops stands in the middle of this natural amphitheater, ringed by sandstone cliffs all around.
Ahead, a weathered flight of stone steps leads up to the closed monastery doors. The plain doors are made of heavy timber with iron studs. A dusty footpath circles the building.
