Famously displayed in centuries past by a great foreign hero, the ancient | |||
skills of the Blademaster were lost to history, but rediscovered in the modern | |||
age. Encompassing mastery of sword and self, these agile swordsmen strike as | |||
the wind, outrun the rain, and can cut a circle of death through the bloodiest | |||
battlefield or darkest alleyway. | |||
Originating in the distant continent of [[Kashar]], the Two Arts and their | |||
companion martial practises came to the shores of Sapience with the mercenary | |||
Lucaine Pyramides. Rising to spectacular prominence in the succession wars of | |||
the troubled Seleucarian Empire, he fought for the beleaguered Empress, cutting | |||
a swath through enemy forces to turn many a battle with the impossible | |||
precision of his weapon, Three Moons. The sellsword turned hero met an | |||
untimely fate, and his ways and knowledge were lost alongside his fabled blade. | |||
Centuries later, questing Kashari marauders on a mission of pursuit set about a | |||
series of events that saw the hero's sword rediscovered and the way of the | |||
sheathed blade returned. Now shared with those who would learn by the Hatha-yin | |||
maiden Kavaya, descendent of the bloodline of Lucaine, the path of the | |||
Blademaster is one of physical training, mental discipline, and supreme | |||
combative prowess. | |||
Unarmed, a Blademaster is a formidable opponent, well-versed in the | |||
vulnerabilities and pressure points that can leave a foe reeling and helpless. | |||
With his sword at his side, each one bearing a name unique to its wielder, a | |||
Blademaster is a force of death. Drawing and resheathing their blade with each | |||
attack, swift slashes accompanied by precise, unarmed strikes, a Blademaster's | |||
furious onslaught is further strengthened through the Shin trance. | |||
Concentrating the rhythm and pulse of battle, Shindo permits terrific feats of | |||
might and power. | |||
The skills of a Blademaster are TwoArts, Striking, and Shindo. A fledgling of | |||
the class will learn TwoArts and Striking. Shindo is learned upon embracing the | |||
class. | |||
