In a rough world, warriors can be found everywhere, but they are not all identical. A typical fighter uses brute strength as a means to victory. Others rely on speed, agility, and intense training to defeat an opponent. Many men study intricate styles of swordplay as an art form as well as a means of self-defense. Years of practice, training, and discipline result in unnatural speed and uncanny combat perception. Naturally, this talent is in high demand all over the world. Blademasters often find themselves among all breeds of combatants, struggling for superiority, wealth, power, and adventure.
