Danaa'ds Conquest Style
The Path of the Water Dragon emphasizes the give and take embodied by the Danaa'd. According to the Immaculate Texts, Danaa'd was the second of the Dragons to enter the Choosing War, using trickery and guile to wear away at the weaknesses of the Primordials, and retreating from their attacks only to strike again at places she had already weakened.
In her honour, the students of Danaa'd learn not only physical force but mental and social understanding, as well. They learn to seek out weaknesses and to count the costs of victory, knowing when a sacrifice is needed and when a retreat is in order.
Prime Trait: Conviction. A student of the Water Dragon must have Conviction 2 to learn the Student Form, Conviction 3 to learn the Adept Form, Conviction 4 to learn the Master Form, and Conviction 5 to learn the Pinnacle Form.
