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 Great Goal
- 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.
 
And 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.

Book content

...The greatest weapon of every Aldorian pilgrim is most certainly their unshakable faith in the Host and the Path that 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, which has likely been accompanying you during the miles-long journeys between the holy sites of Aldor, can definitely help you with this task.

It goes without saying that a staff is no match to a sword: killing an ambushing brigand with it will take a considerable amount of effort. But who said that taking a life is the only choice? Sometimes instead of trying to murder 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...

The staff's advantage lies in its cheapness, the ease of learning, and the abundance of moves that you can perform with it. I'll explain some of them in greater detail below...
