Difference between revisions of "Monk"

Martial arts were developed and refined by the [[kephera]] and [[illithoid]] during the [[Undervault Wars]], and they were subsequently taught to the upper world people in the [[Basin of Life]]. Training begins with learning [[kata]], the basic form of unarmed combat, and then advances to mastering unique weapons in the various specializations, such as the shofa knives used in [[shofangi]]. The kephera and illithoid also both developed a unique form of [[psionics]] called [[psychometabolism]], which is the absolute mastery of one's own body. Some monks prefer to forego this mental development and study [[acrobatics]] instead. The kephera taught the monks in the [[Serenwilde|Serenwilde Forest Commune]] and the [[New Celest|City of New Celest]] a form of spiritual communion, called [[Harmony]], while the illithoid taught the monks of [[Magnagora]] and [[Glomdoring]] the secrets of [[Stealth]]. Many years later, the secrets of the [[Zarakido Manuscript]] were revealed to [[Gaudiguch]] and [[Hallifax]].
