The greatest weapon of each Aldorian pilgrim is most certainly their unshakable faith in the Host and the Path which they prepared for all of us. And yet, there are many situations in life when we have to stand up for ourselves instead of hoping for divine intervention. Your trusty staff, that has likely been accompanying you during your miles-long journeys between the holy sites of Aldor, can definitely help you with this task.
 
You have to keep in mind that your staff is not just a walking stick, but it also isn't a weapon in the full sense of the word. You'll most likely fail to deal the same damage to your opponent, be it an ambushing bandit or an orc, as you would do with, say, a sword. The staff's advantage is the ease of learning, as well as an abundance of moves you can perform with it, some of which I'll explain in detail below. Sometimes instead of trying to kill your enemy outright, it's better to daze or confuse them, knock a weapon out of their hands. In other words - buy yourself some time to make a run for it, rather than sticking around for an unfair fight...

Book content

...The staff is akin to the Path - it's straight and unassuming at first glance, but it holds many intricacies, which are impossible to grasp with a limited mind. The staff doesn't yield its secrets to those who are impatient, arrogant, cowardly, or corrupted with affluence - only those who understand the essence of things can hope to unlock its potential.

To learn the staff you need to understand three principles:

- All desires must be reined in. All thoughts must serve the High Purpose.
- Emotions lead you astray from the Path and therefore they lead you to ruin.
- The staff is not just your weapon. It's a continuation of your very self.

Always remember that blindly performing the techniques and learning the motions won't teach you the most important thing - the Unity, the greatest of the Nine Virtues...
