Ancient Temple

"The things my Youkai-Forged Blades cannot cut are next to none!"-Youmu Konpaku, Ancient Temple Master


Long ago, a noble woman raised as a ghost after her death. Whitout descendants, she declared she would keep running her lands and demanded all the conforts she enjoyed while alive. Most of her previous servants ran away in fear rather than work under an undead, but her loyal gardeners stood behind and did their best to tend the lady's gardens, serve her meals and tea, maintain the house and even patrol the property in the place of the missing guards. The lady was satisfied with being taken care off by this dedicated servants, and never ventured out from her lands. But the legend arose on how a powerful ghost now ruled the area, and many undeads started converging on it. Despite their loyalty, the gardeners were powerless against many of the undeads since their working tools couldn't hurt them, and  all would have died or worst. But the noble ghost intervened, and gifted her loyal servants with powerfull swords that could slice trough the unholy invaders. The gardeners destroyed all the undeads combining their skill honed from years of cuting plants with their new weapons, and their lady was pleased. Altough she was deeply religious and considered wrong to break the cycle of life by granting them immortality, she did greatly expand their lifespans. As for herself, she said she would one day make peace with the wordly affairs and ascend to nirvana, but that's another story. She stayed in this world, and soon her home became an Ancient Temple, with her previous gardeners as powerful and skilled servants.

The gardeners, blessed with  increased lifes, dedicated themselves to develop a martial art that perfectly blended the elegant cuting of plants with the graceful cuting of those who dared to disturb their mistress lands. Some of them did grew weary of this monotonous life as they worked from dawn to night and weren't even geting paid anymore, leaving their  home to see the world, showing their special skill trough the land. Luckily for them the ghost mistress never atempted to get them back or showed any kind of spite, altough some wonder if she simply doesn't care as long as there's at least one servant taking care of her.

Ancient Temple became well renowed, but few can atempt to learn it tough as no other pair of weapons offer the balance and sharpness of a Youkai-Forged Blades and that's essential for unleashing the maneuvers from this school. And only their ghost mistress seems to be know the secret to get new ones, making many aspiring heroes to travel to her lands. The gardeners left behind always rise their children under this school, creating young martial artists of incredible skill. The favored weapons of this discipline are the Youkai-Forged blades that take the form of one-handed slashing melee weapons. The Discipline Skill is Profession(Gardener), as in order to know how to cut flesh and soul at the same time one must first learn how to gracefully cut trees and flowers. Altough some question if this philosophy is really true, the fact that it's upholded by gardener-warriors with centuries of experience that serve an aparently mad ghost doesn't leave much room for discussion if you wish to learn it.

This school is available only to those who take the Netherworld Gardener feat.
