The Cloister of Saint Glinda is a Unionist mauntery located in the Shale Shallows, on the border of the Emerald City, Gillikin and Munchkinland.
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 relocated their order to a nearby farm house to practice their faith.

- Due to the Cloister‘s near proximity to Quadling Country, the establishment takes on its fair share of Quadling novices deemed too plain or unruly for marriage, or too dull for the mild professions.
