Heaven's Fury Style
By Krule
Background
In the First age some of the greatest Martial artists of all were solar Dawn Caste, this style was created with consideration of their particularly deadly offensive Techniques. The masters of the Heaven’s Fury Style were feared terribly, who could stand against them, they struck like lightning with multiple attacks every round, such was the power of their blows that the servants of the Primordials fell before them like wheat before the scythe, and the force of their blows was as though the wrath of Heaven had fallen on the earth. Even more terrible masters of this style learned to use a Direlance with their attacks. Only the most favored and the bravest of the Lightbringers ever mastered this style.
This style is compatible with all Martial Arts weapons and spears, as well as tiger claws, if the practitioner has mastered Tiger Style.
