'ONE WITH SHADOWS' (1395)

Every warrior learns the value of being the first to strike in a battle, but
few ever master the perpetual state of readiness necessary to thwart their
foes' ability to catch them off guard.  The stances and grips of those who
comprehend the ancient legacy of One With Shadows were designed to let a
warrior react at a moment's notice, and were only truly mastered by those
who were as clever as they were strong.  Through a series of compact ripostes
and vicious counters, the warriors who make alertness their unconscious state
of mind become adept at foiling surprise attacks of various kinds.
