By haren<br />

(With thanks to Balthasar and Four<br />

Willows Weeping)<br />

This is an advanced martial art created in<br />

a mockery of the Sidereal Exalted by those<br />

who have the some of the most reason to<br />

loathe them, the Deathlords.<br />

This style is not compatable with any<br />

weapons, and none of it’s Charms are<br />

compatible with armor.<br />

All of these are forms. Each 3 hour branch<br />

can be freely combined with itself, but<br />

and found herself lost in memory<br />

The begining stance of the first hours has<br />

the user take on a posture that reminds<br />

attackers of fond and precious memories,<br />

so much, that to attack is as if to attack<br />

the very basis of those memories. Anyone<br />

attempting to strike the user with a hand to<br />

hand attack or melee weapon must make<br />

a Conviction roll each turn to strike. Even<br />

then, they add half the user’s Martial Arts<br />

rating (round down) to the difficulty to<br />

attack.<br />

for she could not bear its loss<br />

With bowed head and flowing grace,<br />

the martial artist accepts death pass into<br />

themselves, knowing that they will die<br />

one day. With flowing blood and growing<br />

wounds, they let their fears and pain pass to<br />

all warriors around them. With open arms<br />

and a song, their wisdom grants them a<br />

beauty so that those who would cause them<br />

pain, share in that same pain. They cause all<br />

enemies within (Essence x 3 yards) to suffer<br />

an addition to their wound penalty equal<br />

to that of the martial artist (who can use<br />

Charms to negate their own dice reduction<br />

without reducing the penalties of others.)<br />

and so, sought out a way to hold it<br />

forever.<br />

Those who have mastered the first hours<br />

of Setesh’s Calander know that time is<br />

against the living. Death comes for all in<br />

time, but the martial artist can grant this<br />

understanding to those around them. They<br />

understand that their coming time is an<br />

end to pain and suffering. A chance to join<br />

with loved ones beyond. This removes<br />

their desire to put off the coming death.<br />

All within (Essence x 5 yards) subtracts<br />

the martial artist’s Essence in dice from<br />

any attempts to dodge or parry attacks on<br />

themselves.<br />

All beings with an essence pool attacking<br />

the user of this Charm lose half of the user’s<br />

Permanent Essence (rounded up) in motes<br />

The user of this charm gains these motes.<br />
