| 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 [[knights]] who have been trained to inflict 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.
