The order came to be when canon Prokop of the Black Forest, who had retired to the wilderness as a hermit, had attracted a group of like-minded hermits. Having lived in a cave on the banks of the [[Spelph River]] for several years, Prokop contacted Sir [[Prise de Blaincour]], the [[Barons of Yonderre|Baron]] of [[Stonne (Barony)|Stonne]], and suggested the construction of a monastery. The Baron agreed and construction of the first Prokopite monastery began that Summer. The Prokopites initially sought to appease the local [[East Goths|Goths]] by bridging the gap between [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] and the local [[East Gothic faith]], reinterpreting local folklore and tales into a Christian view. This caused the Prokopites criticism from the [[Bishopric of Donne]] but did not hinder their preachers, and as a result, Stonne and the surrounding lands experienced a much smoother transition to Catholicism than many other regions of [[Yonderre]]. | The order came to be when canon Prokop of the Black Forest, who had retired to the wilderness as a hermit, had attracted a group of like-minded hermits.

Prokopite teachings soon spread to other regions of Yonderre, although support remained strongest in Donne. Prokop himself was canonized in 1520 following his death in 1499, at which point the Order took its official name as the Order of Saint Prokop. Several monastries of the Prokopite Order sprung up throughout Yonderre during the sixteenth century, often paid for by the local nobles. The Prokopite Order was the largest monastic order in [[Yonderre]] by the end of the sixteenth century, although their influence and reach was still limited internationally. [[Saint Prokop's Basilica]], the largest Prokopite church, was built in [[Collinebourg]] between 1795- | Prokopite teachings soon spread to other regions of Yonderre, although support remained strongest in Donne.
