A Skillbook for the Weary Wanderers of the World
Contained within are the collection of works of Toumas Alleran, Warrior-Scholar of the Marble Tower, and the Grand Academia of Fencing, with a focus on the physical arts of Pugilism, Fisticuffs, Fencing, and a Broader Knowledge of the Magickal Arts. The ability to bear arms into combat, or turn magickal prowess into lethal force with proficiency is a matter of both health and safety in a world that oftentimes views it at odds with the survival of society, as Lord Alleran wrote, but one which must be preserved that learned men be able to protect themselves, or have adequate protectors come an age of strife.
The writings within delve into great lengths, but the current volumes focus on the following Treatises:
▰▰ Parables of Physical Combat: ▰▰
As with all of his previous works, Toumas' notations on the ways of battle are touched upon with references to parables written by others. In such a manner he relates his work to his students and keeps the methods memorable, easier for them to recall later when so necessary.
