... I'm obviously aware of the existence of dwarven berserkers, elven dervishes, and the duelists from the Bronze Isles who prefer fighting with two blades instead of one. I even had a pleasure to personally meet one of them. Unfortunately, my memory isn't what it used to be, so I can't recall the name of that noble warrior. An old friend of my late tutor, he left the Bronze Isles just before it cut all ties with the outside world.
 
After losing his homeland, he decided to make a living by teaching youngsters like me swordsmanship. I was rather fortunate to get a couple lessons from him back in the day. He preferred to teach a bunch of students at the same time, sparring with five or six opponents simultaneously. It goes without saying, he gave us quite a thrashing - it felt as if his blades had a mind of their own, striking at every direction at once.
 
But what did it cost him? Years upon years of grueling practice, starting from early childhood and throughout his entire life, day after day... For this very reason I don't take dual wielding seriously. Even to an experienced fencer a buckler is a hundredfold more useful than a second blade. Unless you actually know what you're doing, dual wielding will only result in your quick demise...

Book content

...The Jacinth Kingdoms are teeming with all kinds of secret societies and sects, and the Harimits are one of the most remarkable groups. In Aldor they would likely be called a monastic order, though such comparison does a disservice to their actual nature.

This society is indeed heavily focused on mysticism, but one can become a Harimit without forfeiting their old life. Therefore, Harimits can be encountered among every estate of Ahjat and Jibey: artisans, merchants, even maafs. The militant branch of the order is known as the Singing Blades. Over the centuries, they developed their very own fencing system, heavily borrowing from the nomadic dervishes of Ohir. The Harimit Blades barely use any armor, instead relying on speed and precision.

I had an opportunity to witness their training a couple times. I must admit, sometimes it was hard to believe their moves to be the result of mere muscles and tendons working in unison, and not some strange magic. For example, there's this technique which the Blades call "whirlwind"...
