The Book begins, "I am slowly going mad from the lycan disease. I am writing down everything I know of the art of combat. It is so much deeper than most people realize! Each piece of armor and weaponry has subtle distinctions, and mastering these distinctions gives you tremendous leverage in battle.

I would be pleased and honored if whoever reads this were to follow my lessons and learn my life's work. It may not apply to all warriors, but I at least guarantee you will become a better staff fighter!"
