8.2.2.5 THE TAHTETSO GUILD
The school of Tahtetso was founded in 185CE, by virtue of the Queen of
Queens Zenobia of the Undervault. Their primary weapon known as the
Tahto staff, is wielded in both hands and each student is taught to use
it for both attack and protection. The word Tahtetso comes from an
unknown Kepheran root meaning "to be one with". Servitude to the Light
plays a key role in the lives of the Tahtetso, but a prevailing tenet is
to find balance within oneself by embracing Humility, Discipline and
Sacrifice in the hopes of achieving Lumosis.
The Tahtetso are of the monk archetype. As such, they must first study
kata before moving on to their mastery form of Tahtetso, or the mastery
of wielding the Tahto staff. Their secondary skill is Harmony, a gift
from the Kephera people, allowing them to combine the forces within
their bodies to work in harmony with the elements around them in the
form of Mantras. Further, the Tahtetso may choose to take Psionics,
which further specializes into Psychometabolism, or the art of
manipulating the energy of the Divine Spark, or Sila, within all mortal
beings. If not Psionics, a Tahtetso can also choose Acrobatics.
