Falling Petal Style

Falling Petal style is a First Edition terrestrial martial art largely duplicating the canonical Falling Blossom style (Cult of the Illuminated, pp. 102-104), both styles based on the idea of expendable warriors; however, while Falling Blossom is based around a fanatical, nearly religious devotion, Falling Petal is a Fair Folk specific style, based on oaths, obligation, grace ownership, the social peculiarities of raksha society and the fact death of the physical body is not as significant to raksha. Almost without exception, all practitioners of this style are common raksha, usually warriors, in servitude for one reason or another to noble raksha. Some have been forced to learn the style by their masters, but more dangerous are the many with true devotion to those they protect.

A Falling Petal stylist devotes his actions to the one who owns his or her feeding grace. While not a requirement, more dedicated stylists have Lures related in some way to serving their master. Such raksha, if they survive, tend to wind up in Bedlam fairly regularly, so many know a number of Bedlam related charms, particularly Raging Vortex Form (Fair Folk, pg. 157). A significant percentage of this style's practitioners take their devotion one step further and become living artifacts for their masters by learning the Extinction of Desire charm (Fair Folk, pg. 192).

Like Falling Blossom style, Falling Petal style treats attacks with swords and knives as unarmed attacks and is incompatible with armor.
