Four Monarchs Style

Created by Greymane and GoldenCat

This style is practiced among the White Guard of Stygia, retainers of the Dual Monarchy. It emulates the office of the four monarchs and the legend tied to their endless existence, providing techniques that allow ghosts to partake upon their august prowess in a similar but lesser fashion than those who step into their roles. Each of the four student and mastery techniques is tied to one of the four:

Usine White-skinned male aspect of the White Monarch, commander of the golem army of Stygia.

Eset Female aspect of the White Monarch, said to have been first, speaker to and for oblivion itself, diplomat from ghosts to Nephwracks.

Stesh Male aspect of the Black Monarch, controller of all rituals and rites that mantain the Underworld, ruler of the Calendar, time and prophecy.

Nebthys Black-skinned female aspect of the Black Monarch, lady of thousand secrets and the monarch most interested in the living world, who hears the last whispers of the dying and with them a considerable number of the secrets, though never generous with such knowledge.

The Charms of this style treat attacks made with swords and staves as unarmed attacks. This style is fully compatible with armor.
