'INCARNADINE WAVE' (1391)
Stalking their prey like wolves, the elite guard of the first Lord Captain of Darsylon once practiced a fighting style which their enemies named the Incarnadine Wave, in testament to the savage quickness and flowing, rhythmic style of their sword strokes. Adaptable to any weapon, though most often practiced with lightweight ones, the Royal Family banned its teaching, citing its emphasis on painful strikes to vital areas as unfit for noblemen to employ. Since then, no master of it has come forward, but rumors persist of warrior- monks who have unearthed the forbidden lessons, focusing their will not on brute force, but rather the pinpoint accuracy and striking beauty of its motions.
