St. Tomato Monastery is an ancient Svaldic building which is home to the Order of the Tomato. It was founded in 1287 AE by a group of monks whom had travelled from The Great Handoran Empire following the death of their master, Jao Xihongshi (Now known as St. Tomato), the creator of Tomato Fu, at the hands of a rival martial arts master.

Their master gone and their former home destroyed by the rival group, they left the Empire for what was at the time the United Provinces province of North Svaldenstadt, where they built the new monastery and named it for thier former master, devoting it to the teachings of Tomato Fu.

From time to time, those known as Master of the Art of Tomato Fu find themselves drawn to the Monastery, where after having proven themselves, they are given the alligance of its resident monks. The current Master of the Art is Earth, who now keeps residence there due to the inability to travel back to his normal home in Banivia.
