Background

Autumnal Torrent Style
This Style is applicable with segmented armor. Treat attacks with Tiger Claws, Rope Darts, and Nunchakus as unarmed attacks for the purposes of charms in this style. Whenever a charm of this style is activated the practitioner gains +2 yards to their movement that must be used.

History
While the Mist of the Forest Witches, sometimes known as Domnica or Domnica’s Legacy, holds the offer of perfection in one simple and beautiful step, the chance to forsake the nature of one’s birth and make oneself anew, not many have the strength or courage to make that step for the Witches believe in perfection found internally and few can claim with certainty to properly understand what one ought to become. Of those few, the Numina of the Mist, Iurka: the Autumnal Torrent embodies dance, battle, destiny, and the stars. She carved away her own stillness and for this reason may never rest. To think of motion is to move, and she pours through the world like water driven by a storm. Such is the power of Iurka that she has made thought and action one. Without stillness pain cannot take hold.

There have always been those who would worship the Numina and seeing the ultimate perfection of Iurka one follower too weak to make the final step sought to emulate the Autumnal Torrent. To reach a state where he too could say nothing hurt him that he did not already suffer. Gaavarva, for such was the name of the Martial Artist and Priest who sought the perfection of the Mist but could not find his own perfection, developed this style in order to touch upon the perfection of another, his god, The Autumnal Torrent.
