The Cloister of Saint Glinda is a Unionist mauntery located in the Shale Shallows, within the borders of Gillikin and very near the Vinkus and the West Gate of the Emerald City.
In addition to serving as a recluse for maunts, it also takes in travelers and provides them with a place to rest on their journey. The cloister is under the patronage of the revered Saint Glinda (not to be confused with Glinda the Good).
Between the events of A Lion Among Men and Out of Oz, the mauntery is partially destroyed in a skirmish between the Emerald City and Munchkinland. Therefore, the maunts relocate their order to a nearby farmhouse to practice their faith.
