Majestic is the name taken by one who is a practitioner of | Majestic is the name taken by one who is a practitioner of the Art of Majesty in Motion. In the millennia of Celegian history, nearly every style and method of humanoid melee combat has been tried and perfected. The Art of Majesty of Motion is extremely ancient, and the name comes from the Ancient Lelnian the earliest known fighting manuals of this style are written in, but even from that distant time, the Art was established as ancient indeed. Some rumor that the Art is older even than the Empire, and that the nigh mythical Celegio Celestias was skilled in it when he founded the Empire. The truth of these tales is impossible to determine, but the fact remains that the Art is an incredibly potent melee fighting style and one that has many adherents even today, despite the crushing difficulty of qualifying for the training. (Indeed, almost as many Rogues as Fighters opt for this difficult prestige class, as it is almost as easy for either one to qualify.) | ||
The Art is odd in that it teaches that the weapon is the least part of the battle, and the ability to maneuver on the battlefield is the supreme art. Majesty of Motion is an aggressive art, and it is definitely one of the most dangerous to face, as Majestics are able to attack from the most odd and extreme of positions. One of the tenets of the art is to attack from a place where your opponent can neither resist or counterattack. Despite this, the Art is one of nigh-supreme power upon the battlefield. | The Art is odd in that it teaches that the weapon is the least part of the battle, and the ability to maneuver on the battlefield is the supreme art.
