bells

Two great bells reside in the tower of the Monastery. They are the Male and the Female.

Each has its own distinctive nature.

The Male chimes three times every 900 seconds (3 x 3 x 100, or 15 minutes. Predictable and regular. Three is the number of spirit).

The Female chimes four times every 1,117 seconds (1,117 is a prime number, meaning that no number divides into it. Four is the number of earth).

You can touch them to cause their chimes to sound, but this will not change their rhythms.
