| style="background:lightyellow"|The art of | | style="background:lightyellow"|The art of '''Combat''' involves learning a variety of fighting stances and maneuvers. The stances generally focus upon protecting certain parts of your body when facing [[warrior|knights]] who have been trained to inflict [[Deepwounds|critical wounds]]. While being in a stance that protects your head, for example, a sword or mace blow to the head could be lessened or even completely avoided. As your skill increases in combat, the number and effectiveness of your stances will increase. | ||
