'FLOW OF SHADOWS' (1383)
A hallmark of the Honor Guard of Darsylon's royalty, centuries ago, the secrets
of the Flow of Shadows were lost for ages, though occasionally reported to
have been used by mysterious rescuers of lost travelers near Mount Calandaryl.
The stances were designed to permit maximum mobility, owing to the style's
focus on slipping away from your opponent's vision through a combination of
sweeping, flowing movements and the use of surrounding lighting. Though
mastery taxed the initiate's body, the toll on the mind was equally fierce,
owing to the style's emphasis on timing and misdirection, and only those
who embodied both physical and mental grace were chosen for the most
difficult lessons. These movements not only help avoid incoming attacks, but
create opportunities for rapid counterstrikes during the moment's confusion.
